Chocolate Zucchini Cake

This chocolate zucchini cake is moist and fudgy with crunchy walnuts in every bite! You can frost it with chocolate frosting or cream cheese icing.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups grated zucchini
• ¾ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add oil and eggs; mix well until just combined. Fold in zucchini and walnuts until they are evenly distributed; pour cake batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool cake completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.

Tips

Squeeze zucchini in a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture if you prefer a lighter, drier cake.
