Number Of Ingredients 16

2 to 3 medium zucchinis (you want 2 to 3 cups shredded zucchini total)
7 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons butter (softened)
3 eggs (room temperature)
2 cups granulated sugar
1 ½ cups applesauce (unsweetened)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10 cup bundt pan generously and set aside.
  • Grate the zucchinis and place on several layers of paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Use a towel and gently press the zucchini to release the moisture. You don't want it completely dry, just slightly less wet. I ended up with a couple of cups of grated zucchini but it honestly doesn't affect the recipe if you have more or less. I would say between 2 and 3 cups is perfect.
  • Whisk granulated sugar, eggs, applesauce, butter, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cocoa powder together. Reserve a couple tablespoons of the mixture, set aside.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the wet mixture just until combined.
  • Combine the chocolate chips with the reserved flour mixture. Add chocolate chips and grated zucchini to the batter and stir just until all ingredients are combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake the cake for 55 to 65 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool for ten minutes before inverting onto a plate. Let cake cool completely.
