...A good mix between Zucchini Bread and a yummy brownie! If using frozen, grated zucchini, drain and squeeze out liquid before using.
Cream together well:
1 cube real butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-3/4 cups sugar
Add and mix:
2 eggs
2 cups zucchini, peeled and finely grated
1 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbl. cocoa powder
1/3 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Add and mix only until combined:
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/4 cup sour cream mixed with 1/4 cup milk)
Stir in:
1-1/4 cups chocolate chips
Prepare a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray. Bake at 325 degrees for 35-45 min. until center is not jiggly. Don't overbake. Allow to cool if you choose to frost it with chocolate frosting. Can also be eaten warm without frosting!
