Chocolate Zucchini Cake

This is an excellent way to use up all that grated zucchini: it tastes good, it's very chocolatey, and it has a lot of moisture. It takes at least 3 days to dry out. Makes 2 loaves.

1/4 c butter

1/2 c oil

1 & 3/4 c sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 c buttermilk

2 & 1/2 c flour

1/4 c cocoa

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

2 c grated zucchini

1/4 c chocolate chips

Make this the usual way: cream butter and sugar, add eggs one by one, add liquid ingredients then dry ingredients, fold in zucchini. Dump into loaf tins or one 9" X 12" cake tin. Sprinkle with chips.

Bake 325ºF for 45 minutes (loaf tins). Less for cake tin.
