  • Who's a chocolate lover?? ✋🍫 Indulgently rich, this chocolate zucchini cake is surprisingly healthy too! It has the perfect balance of moisture and rich chocolate flavors that satisfy your sweet tooth! ✨ Save this post! Full recipe below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/chocolate-zucchini-cake-8/) Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose flour 2 ½ cups granulated sugar ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 tsp instant coffee granules, decaf is fine 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp table salt 4 large eggs 1 ⅓ cups canola oil 3 cups zucchini, finely grated and loosely packed 1 cup mini chocolate chips, semi-sweet (mini's are best, as they melt into the cake well) Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or frosting of your choice Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Grease and flour a 9×13 baking pan. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, coffee granules, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine well. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add oil, zucchini, and mini chocolate chips. Stir to combine well. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold together the flour mixture with the egg mixture. Fold gently just until no more dry streaks of flour remain; do not overmix. Bake 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached (be sure to test in a cake-only spot; cracked spots tend to be misleading, since melted chocolate chips sit in those cracks.) Cool cake completely in pan before slicing and serving. If desired, decorate cake with powdered sugar or frosting of your choice #freshlybaked #bakinglove #foodphotography #bakersofinstagram #eaaaaats #bakingclass #bakingaddiction #bakingday #bakingisfun #bakingcookies #bakingcooking #baking101 #bakingislove #feedfeed #feedfeedbaking #feedfeedchocolate #bakersgonnabake #appetitejournal #bakeandshare #chocolatelover #chocolovers #tastingtable #thebakefeed

  • The perfect balance of whole, nutritious ingredients create the ultimate lemon zucchini bread! 🍋 Enjoy it any time of day! ✨ Save this post! Full recipeSave this post! Full recipe#bakersofig below! 👇 (For Printable Recipe Card and Notes: https://www.chewoutloud.com/moist-lemon-zucchini-bread/) Ingredients: For the Bread: 1 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg 2 tsp lemon extract ½ cup canola or vegetable oil 1 ½ cups freshly shredded zucchini zest of one extra-large lemon 1 ½ cups all purpose flour 2 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp table salt ½ tsp baking soda ¼ tsp baking powder For the Icing: 1 cup powder sugar 1 TB freshly squeezed lemon juice Optional: extra lemon zest for topping Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F with oven rack on lower middle position. Grease and flour a 9×4 inch loaf pan. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg, lemon extract, and oil. Stir in zucchini and lemon zest until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold wet mixture with dry mixture just until no white flour streaks remain; do not over work the batter. Pour batter into greased/floured pan. Bake 45 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean, with a few tender crumbs attached (not fully clean.) Allow bread to cool in pan on a wire rack 15-30 min. To make the icing, combine the powder sugar with lemon juice and whisk until incorporated. Add more powdered sugar if it's too runny. Add a bit more lemon juice if it's too thick. Once it's to your desired consistency, place in a Ziploc bag and cut off a tiny bit of the corner to make a drizzle-pouch. Carefully remove warm bread from pan and place on serving platter. Drizzle icing over the bread, allowing it to soak into warm bread. If desired, sprinkle top with extra lemon zest. Wait until bread is completely cool before slicing. #bakingfromscratch #bakingfun #f52grams #kitchn #feedfeedbaking #bakemyday #baketheworldabetterplace #bakinglove #bakingwithlove #bakersofinstagram #abmfoodie #tastemade #tryitordiet #eatfortheinsta #sweeeeets #forthemaking
