Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (118g) vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (1 large or 2 small zucchinis)
  • 3–5 tablespoons (15-75ml) water
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
  • ¼ cup (59ml) unsalted butter (melted, for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • ¼ cup (59ml) milk (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13" baking pan with foil and cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, combine vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Gradually mix in dry ingredients and fold in shredded zucchini.
  4. Let the batter rest briefly; if too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.

  6. Allow to cool completely before frosting with your favorite icing.
