Instructions
2 cups all-purpose flour,1 cup granulated sugar,1 cup light brown sugar,1 ½ teaspoons baking soda,½ teaspoon table salt
Pour cocoa powder into a separate, heatproof mixing bowl and then pour hot/boiling water overtop. Whisk until smooth.
½ cup natural cocoa powder,½ cup steaming hot or boiling water
Add butter and whisk until combined.
10 Tablespoons melted butter
Add sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract and whisk well.
1 cup sour cream,2 large eggs,2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add dry ingredients to the wet and use a spatula to gently fold ingredients together until about halfway combined. Add zucchini and continue to stir until ingredients are well incorporated and batter is uniform – do not overmix or cake will be dense and dry.
1 ½ cups shredded zucchini
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 33-35 minutes and until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Allow cake to cool completely before covering with frosting.
For Frosting
Combine cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and stir until combined.
8 oz cream cheese,½ cup unsalted butter,2 ½ cups powdered sugar
Stir in cocoa powder.
⅓ cup cocoa powder
Add vanilla extract and salt and stir until smooth and well combined.
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract,⅛ teaspoon table salt
Spread frosting evenly over cooled cake (I ice it directly in the pan) then sprinkle with mini chocolate chips for decoration. Slice and enjoy.
2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips for topping
Notes
Storing
Cover with foil or plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Cake may also be frozen for several months.
