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)

  • Zucchini Moisture Management 💦
    Always grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel to prevent a soggy cake texture and ensure a perfectly moist crumb.
  • Chocolate Chip Distribution 🍫
    Toss semisweet chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from sinking and ensure even chocolate distribution throughout the cake.
  • Spice Bloom Technique 🌶️
    Bloom ground cinnamon and cloves briefly in warm oil before mixing into the batter to intensify their aromatic qualities and deepen the cake's flavor profile.
  • Ganache Temperature Trick 🌡️
    Let ganache cool to just above room temperature before pouring over the cake to achieve a perfect glossy drip that sets beautifully without running completely off the cake.
  • Bundt Pan Release Hack 🍰
    Create a foolproof non-stick surface by thoroughly greasing the bundt pan with softened butter and dusting with cocoa powder instead of flour to prevent white residue and ensure clean cake release.
