Melt together over low heat so the mixture isn’t overly hot and doesn’t cook the eggs when blending it all together.
1/2 c. butter
1+1/2 c. Hershey’s milk chocolate chips
In a mixing bowl, whip together
3 eggs
1 + 3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. oil
If the chocolate mixture is too hot, temper with 1/2 c. Heavy cream. Else, blend the 1/2 c. cream with the eggs, then add the chocolate mixture.
In a bowl, sift together, then blend with the liquid part.
2 + 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. Hershey’s 100% cacao cocoa powder
1 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
Then fold in 2 c. grated zucchini.
Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan, and bake at 350 for 40-48 minutes (I think it was that long… …I forgot to solve for the cooking time). (Went back and looked at the recipe I modified and she has written 325 for 45 minutes. So I bet that time would work for this).
Modified this recipe from a friend on my imgur craft group. I was really hoping for a fudgy brownie, but meh, didn’t turn out that way. I think I really needed one more egg, 1/2 cup more chocolate chips, and 1/4 cup more of oil/butter. Pppp! Doesn’t matter, really, this is a really good chocolate cake…Really really good. I give it an A++.
Optional: I’d add some dark black coffee to this, if I was allowed to, heh. Probably a teaspoon of instant coffee blended in with the chocolate mixture.
Put it in the fridge and oh my word. The best description I can think of for it, a chocolate bar cake. oof! it is so darn good…and I’m not a big chocolate eater, .
Another thing that struck me. A few years back my mom had given me a chocolate & lemon fruitcake. I bet this would be just as good as that was if made in the same way.
Your carefully angled photo makes me want to bite the screen. I have to stop looking now. Zucchini bread has become very popular too, hasn’t it? Thanks for sharing.
Been using another recipe as the breads rise a lot better…The spiced ones are pretty good, but the chocolate one…Meh, not as good as the first one…I wonder why. O_o.
(makes two loaves)
Sift together
4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1+1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. hershey’s cocoa powder
Mix well together
4 eggs
3 c. sugar (I believe I cut out about 2/3’s of a cup)
1 Tbls. Vanilla (I ran out making the other four. So this one doesn’t have but half a teaspoon, )
1+1/4 c. sunflower oil
Melt together (not letting them get too hot)
1/2 c. butter
11.5 oz bag of Hershey’s milk chocolate chips.
Mix chocolate and egg/sugar mixture together. spoon stir in the flour, then stir in
4 c. shredded zucchini
bake for 50-65 minutes at 350.
For spiced, leave out the chocolate, add 3/4 cup oil,
Mix in three teaspoons of cinnamon.
Or instead of all cinnamon 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground clove, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Anyway, will have to see how it goes after it cools in the fridge tonight.
Edit:
Oh noooo! They weren’t fully cooked…the toothpick lied.
