How to Make Chocolate Chip Zucchini Snack Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and ½ cup buttermilk.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups grated zucchini, 1 cup chocolate chips, and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 25 minutes.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
