My neighbor made this the other day and shared a few pieces with me..I love this..It is more like a cake, than a bread. It is very rich.. It is almost the same as my old recipe that I have except I did not use the chocolate..I have missed out on a lot, in my life. This recipe was handed down from a friend of hers and she gave me a copy.. The secrete is the 3 cups of grated zucchini for a more moist bread? I say cake! The original recipe came from the Victorian Bed & Breakfast in Coupeville, Washington.

How To Make chocolate zucchini "cake" bread

Step 1

PREHEAT your oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 - 5" x 9" loaf pans. GRATE zucchini, and I after I measured, I cut the 3 cups of grated zucchini again with my kitchen scissors to make smaller pieces.

IN A MEDIUM BOWL... mix the eggs, oil, vanilla, sugar and zucchini (grated) with a large spoon until well mixed.
Step 3

IN A LARGE BOWL...combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. I used a wire whip to mix the dry ingredients.
Step 4

ADD the chocolate chips and nuts to the dry ingredients and stir again.
Step 5

ADD the zucchini mixture to the dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon until mixed thoroughly.
Step 6

POUR into 2 greased 5" x 9" loaf pans.
Step 7

BAKE for 45 minutes, until bread tests done.
Step 8

Opt: Omit chocolate chips and cocoa powder and add: 1 tablespoon lemon rind
