I found a delicious Healthy Chocolate Cake Recipe and then of course tweaked it to my liking!
You can ice it or leave it plain. It is super moist and delicious just the way it is so that is your call!
Cake:
2 Med Zucchini (Shredded 3-4 cups)7T unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2T unsalted butter, softened (can sub Coconut Oil)
3 Eggs
1C Brown Sugar or 1/2 Brown Sugar and 1/2 Cup honey or pure maple syrup
1 1/2C Applesauce
1T Vanilla ( I love pure vanilla from Watkins)
2C Whole Wheat Flour
1t Baking Soda
1t Salt
1C Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F Degrees.
Grate the zucchini and wring out in cheesecloth or a tea towel to get out all excess moisture. You may end up with a little more or a little less but it won't affect the recipe any.
Combine sugar, eggs, applesauce,zucchini, butter/coconut oil, and vanilla.
Combine the chocolate chips with a little flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom while the cake is baking.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips.
Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into a well-greased bundt pan. Bake the cake for 60-70mins or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.
Be sure to let the cake before inverting onto a plate.
SOUNDS AMAZING RIGHT?!
Ok now if you wanted to go ALL OUT,you can use this chocolate glaze recipe to go over the cake.
Chocolate Glaze:
3/4C Dark Chocolate Chips
3T Coconut Oil
1T Light Corn Syrup
1/4t Vanilla
Directions:
Combine chocolate chips, coconut oil, corn syrup and vanilla in a microwavable dish. I use big glass measuring cup, making it easy to drizzle over the cake. Heat in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals making sure to stir in between until nicely melted. Pour over the cake and enjoy!
