Your family will never know that this is zucchini bread unless you tell them. It is super moist and so full of chocolate flavor!, it is more like cake than a bread!
1 cup canola oil
3 eggs
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups shredded peeled zucchini
Walnuts and mini-chocolate chips, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 8x4 inch loaf pans with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and baking powder; gradually beat into sugar mixture until blended. Stir in zucchini. Transfer to two loaf pans.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
