Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe

	Elle / All my dishes 1 year, 5 months ago Sick of dry, tired old chocolate zucchini bread? NOT this one! Moist, rich and delicious--and the kids never know there's zucchini in it.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (NOT dutch process)

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/4 cup oil

2 large eggs, at room temp

1/2 cup buttermilk, also at room temp

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups zucchini, unpeeled and shredded

4 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (I like to leave some fairly good sized pieces for oozy chocolate)

Directions

Heat oven to 350°.

Butter and flour 2 loaf pans.

Whisk the flour with the cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon and cloves in a medium size bowl.

Beat butter and sugar in a medium bowl with a mixer on med high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

While you're mixing, drizzle in the oil, then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir the vanilla into the buttermilk.

Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour.

(Like this--flour, buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, flour)

Scrape the sides of the bowl when needed.

Fold in the zucchini and chocolate.

Divide batter into the 2 pans.

Bake until tester comes out clean, about 55 minutes.

(be careful, the tester may look chocolatey from the chocolate in the bread--don't overbake)

Cool in pans on rack before removing and slicing.

What a delicious dessert this is! I made it last night and we really have enjoyed it. This bread, which is more like a cake, will definitely be a recipe I will be making for a long time to come!
