Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 medium zucchinis (grated)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two round cake pans.
  2. Grate zucchinis and squeeze out excess moisture using paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, mix sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in grated zucchini and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients until just mixed; lumps are okay.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
