How to Make Won T Kill The Diet Chocolate Cinnamon Zucchini Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Grate the zucchini and add it to the batter along with the chocolate chips. Stir gently to combine.
