How to Make Chocolate Zucchini Bread Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 cups grated zucchini, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  4. Beat until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips, ½ cup raisins (optional), ½ cup chopped nuts (optional), and/or ½ cup shredded coconut (optional).
  8. Divide batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  10. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
