Comment préparer Chocolate Zucchini Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 cup plain yogurt and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa recommended), 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in 2 cups grated zucchini and 1 cup chocolate chips.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
For the frosting: Beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 3-4 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually, tasting as you go to adjust sweetness.
Frost the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
