- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate chips.

Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding nuts or substituting some of the flour with whole wheat flour.
- This cake tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
