How to Make Black Bottom Zucchini Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. Drain any excess liquid from 2 cups shredded zucchini and gently fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 of the batter with 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly mixed.
  8. Spread the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate layer and spread to cover.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before preparing the glaze.
