Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 ½ cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 2 cups chocolate chips (You can use semi sweet but I prefer milk chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan.
- Grate 2 large zucchinis into a medium sized bowl. Pat dry with a paper towel to absorb extra moisture.
- Cream butter, sugar, and oil together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla and eggs until combined. Stir in sour cream.
- Sift dry ingredients. Add to mixer by alternating between dry ingredients and zucchini, mixing by hand until just combined after each. Stir in about 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Add batter to your greased and floured pan and sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
