How To Make deep chocolate zucchini cake

  • 1
    Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl.
  • 2
    Mix the yogurt and vinegar in a large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes to sour the yogurt. Beat in the butter, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • 3
    Stir the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in the zucchini and dry cherries.
  • 4
    Pour batter into the prepared pan, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  • 5
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack. We leave in the pans and eat with out frosting but a cream cheese frosting or whip cream would be good toppings... This cake reheats well..
