Zucchini Chocolate Loaf Cake
Hello, my sweet tooth friends! With zucchini season in full swing, I couldn’t resist trying my hand at making some zucchini bread. But what I ended up with was even better – this super indulging vegan zucchini chocolate loaf cake.
This delightful cake incorporates the goodness of grated zucchini, coffee, cocoa powder, and other ingredients to create a moist and delicious treat.
The zucchini helps to add moisture to the cake, making it tender and juicy. It also stretches the batter, allowing you to make more servings per loaf. The best part? The mild flavor of the zucchini complements the rich chocolate, making for a unique and delicious taste.
Let’s go! 🙂
