Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake
For the Cake:
For the Chocolate Ganache:
To make the Cake
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease a 10-cup bundt pan * with a combination of 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of flour mixed together and brush all over the inside of the pan.
2
Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves in a large mixing bowl.
3
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, oil, and milk until fully combined. Add the shredded zucchini and stir in. Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir just until the flour is incorporated.
4
Pour the batter into the greased pan and smooth out the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate to finish cooling before spreading on the ganache. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
To make the Chocolate Ganache
1
Heat the cream in the microwave or on the stove until it is very hot to the touch. Pour over top of the chocolate chip in a bowl and let sit for 1 minute before whisking to fully incorporate. Fill a piping bag with the ganache and pipe over the cooled cake or spread over the cake with a spatula.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 🥒Grate your zucchini and squeeze it in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy cake and ensuring proper texture and rise.
- Bloom Your Cocoa Powder 🍫Mix cocoa powder with hot water or oil before adding to the batter to intensify chocolate flavor and eliminate any bitter, grainy notes.
- Spice-Sugar Layering Technique 🌰Combine cinnamon and cloves with your sugars before mixing to ensure even distribution of warm spices throughout the cake for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Ganache Temperature Matters ✨Cool your chocolate ganache to 90-95°F before pouring over the cooled cake so it sets smoothly without running off or creating a thick, dull finish.
- Don't Overmix After Adding Flour 🎂Fold in your flour mixture gently with a spatula after combining wet ingredients to avoid developing gluten, which creates a dense, tough crumb rather than a tender cake.
