Zucchini in a dessert… This is what I am offering you today with this Very soft zucchini chocolate cake. I assure you, we absolutely do not detect it on the palate: we simply win a crazy sweet! And it's a great way to use up the extra zucchini growing in your garden :)

In practice, it suffices to finely grate the zucchini to incorporate it into your preparation. As for flavors, chocolate lovers, you should love this gourmet cocoa cake and its chocolate chips!

How to prepare this Cake courgette chocolate ?

The advantage is that this chocolate zucchini cake is really ready quickly and without special equipment (you just need 2 containers). I added a touch of cinnamon to enhance the cocoa taste (if you don't like cinnamon you can do without it too). On the sugar side, I opted for dark brown sugar, but you can make it with any sweetener of your choice. Chocolate chips are really great for bringing a gourmet side to the cake - I recommend the small chips so that they are very soft inside the cake and on top.
