Do you have neighbors been leaving bags of zucchinis at your doorstep? This rich double Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake<\/strong> with chocolate chips will be the tastiest treat you\u2019ll make with your summer squash supply!<\/em><\/p>\n Adding zucchini to baked goods works all sorts of magic! Just like with zucchini bread, the addition of grated zucchini adds moisture, not to mention a smidgen of nutrition! This Chocolate Zucchini Cake<\/strong> was a hit across the board!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From Donna via Pinterest: I have made chocolate zucchini cake before and I have my own recipe, but I have to tell you that your recipe is absolutely awesome! I am making it again as everyone loved \u2764 it and I had enough zucchini left over to not only make 2 loaves of zucchini bread and the cake. The zucchini that I got from a farmer\u2019s stand was huge! Thank you for an awesome recipe!<\/em><\/p>\n From Teresa: Best zucchini cake recipe I\u2019ve made! Actually, best cake recipe I\u2019ve made! Fantastic!<\/em><\/p>\n Originally, I made this cake for a blogger group that was cooking with squash! You may recall that the hubby avoids zucchini like the plague. I was hopeful that a bit of smoke and mirrors could change all that.<\/p>\n But three cups of shredded zucchini was hard to disguise even with the addition of cocoa powder and chocolate chips. There were minuscule telltale spots of green interspersed amongst the rich chocolate base. <\/p>\n Would he or wouldn\u2019t he eat this Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake? Read on to find out. <\/p>\n The first time I baked this chocolate zucchini cake, Bill spotted it on the kitchen counter after arriving home from work. He was most pleased to learn it was designated for home.<\/p>\n I saw him examining his slice after dinner, then taking his fork to pull out any visible \u201cgreen stuff.\u201d Foiled again! But he did admit he liked the cake before I revealed the secret ingredient. He suggested that I leave out the zucchini next time! Sheesh.<\/p>\n Fast forward 6 years, and I gave it another shot. I must have grated the zucchini even finer, as he never said a word, just cleaned his plate! I shared some slices with a few girlfriends. The first asked if you could taste the zucchini, and after I assured her you couldn\u2019t, she dived right in. After her first bite, she wasn\u2019t shy to say how much she loved it, and how it was so very moist and tasty!<\/p>\n For all you \u201cnormal\u201d zucchini-loving folks out there, I promise this is one marvelous cake.<\/p>\n A Bundt cake is named after the pan in which it\u2019s baked. Like an angel food cake pan, it\u2019s a tube pan that will bake up with a hole in the center. Bundt pans range from a basic design to very intricate. To keep its shape, a Bundt cake batter is thicker than a typical cake batter so that it bakes up dense and sturdy. A layer cake may take only 25-30 minutes to bake, but a Bundt cake may take over an hour. One word: Moisture! Zucchini is mainly water, so it will not contribute any flavor to the cake, but instead, that water is released as the cake bakes. Note that there may be little green specks visible from the zucchini peel, but no change in taste from the contribution.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Stay in touch through social media\u00a0@\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, and\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>.

Baking soda does not expire as quickly as baking powder. If your baking powder isn’t active, the cake won’t rise properly. If you’re unsure, check it by putting a spoonful in a cup of very hot water. It should bubble vigorously if fresh. If it doesn’t, replace your supply before making this recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n As an Amazon Associate and member of other affiliate programs, I earn from qualifying purchases.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n 12<\/span><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n 1 slice<\/span><\/p>\n Amount Per Serving:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \t\tCalories:<\/span> 437<\/span>Total Fat:<\/span> 18g<\/span>Saturated Fat:<\/span> 10g<\/span>Trans Fat:<\/span> 0g<\/span>Unsaturated Fat:<\/span> 6g<\/span>Cholesterol:<\/span> 78mg<\/span>Sodium:<\/span> 558mg<\/span>Carbohydrates:<\/span> 65g<\/span>Fiber:<\/span> 3g<\/span>Sugar:<\/span> 40g<\/span>Protein:<\/span> 7g<\/span>\t<\/p>\n Thatskinnychickcanbake.com occasionally offers nutritional information for recipes contained on this site.

The non-stick coating can wear off over time, so I tend to use a classic Bundt pan unless I have a very new model. And even a non-stick Bundt pan should be prepped properly for a proper release.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Since all ovens bake differently, it\u2019s imperative to use a toothpick to check if the cake is done. A toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean. Check a number of spots to be sure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nYou May Also Like:<\/span><\/h2>\n
