How to Make Decadent Zucchini Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 2 cups grated zucchini.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar (optional).
