Grandma’s Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Print Options
Description
Grandma Mary always made this in the summer. I’ve lightened it up a bit using pureed pumpkin, but any pureed fruit (applesauce, etc) would work.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Butter
- 1-½ cup Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- ½ cups Buttermilk
- 2-½ cups Flour
- 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
- 2 cups Grated Zucchini
- ½ cups Pureed Pumpkin
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease and flour a 9″x13″ pan.
Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk, mix well. In another bowl, mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon together, then add to creamed mixture and mix well. Add zucchini and pumpkin, mix until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top of batter and put in oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean, just don’t stick it down through a chocolate chip!
*If you peel the zucchini before you shred it, nobody will ever know there’s zucchini in this recipe, they’ll just think you baked an incredibly moist chocolate cake.

This was a good cake that’s not too sweet and very moist:) I did add 1/2c unsweetened cocoa instead of 4T as in recipe.
