Ingredients

½ lb (220 grams) Zucchini, sliced or cut into chunks
2 medium-sized eggs
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
½ scant cup (100 ml) vegetable oil
½ cup (100 grams) sugar
½ cup (100 grams) dark chocolate chips + 2 tablespoons to sprinkle
¼ cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon fine salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 360°F/ 180°C. Grease with butter or line your loaf pan with parchment paper
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined.
Place the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, zucchini, and cocoa powder in a food processor and blend into a smooth consistency*
Add the flour mixture and pulse, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Blend only for a few seconds until the flour is just combined with the rest of the ingredients; do not overmix.
Add the chocolate chips and pulse for 2 seconds until they're mixed into the batter.
Scrape the batter into the loaf pan, level the top, and sprinkle with extra chocolate chips. Bake in the middle shelf of the oven for about 40-45 minutes.
After 40 minutes, check the cake by inserting a thin skewer or cake tester into the center of the cake. If the cake is fully cooked, the skewer will come out clean. If there is still batter clinging to the skewer, return the cake to the oven for a further 3 minutes and test again.
When the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool. Then, remove the cake from the pan, slice it, and enjoy it with your favorite cup!
