Have you ever had chocolate-zucchini-cake?

This chocolate-zucchini-cake is a must try! Even if you or your loved ones are not zucchini lovers, this zucchini bread recipe is a great way to slip in an extra serving of this vegetable.

This easy chocolate cake can be very easily made into chocolate zucchini bread just by baking it in a loaf pan. (This is my favorite way to bake it!) It does not require a frosting, as it is absolutely delicious on it's own. This chocolate-zucchini-cake is great to make when you have all of those zucchini and not quite sure what to do with them.

I like to grate the zucchini and freeze them into bags, that way I have them when I want to bake. This chocolate-zucchini-bread also freezes well, so you can may several and freeze them for up to 2 months. I'm sure that this will become one of your favorite chocolate bread recipes.

TIP: When adding chocolate chips to cake and bread batters, one may find that sometimes they sink to the bottom of the pan and burn rather than dreamily floating throughout your dough.

You can remedy this by tossing your chocolate chips in about a 1/4 cup of flour before adding them to your batter. This will allow them to float instead of sinking. Good luck!
