Preheat the oven to 350℉ and lightly grease a 8×8 inch baking pan.
2

In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs until the whites and yolks are well mixed.

Next add in the cake mix. Drain any excess water from the shredded zucchini and add it to the bowl. The zucchini doesn’t have to be dry or thoroughly drained, just any excess water poured off. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

|
Add in the chocolate chips, reserving about ¼ of a cup if desired to sprinkle across the top. Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed.
5

Pour the batter in the prepared baking dish and smooth evenly into the baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips evenly across the top.

Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Squeeze Your Zucchini Dry 💧Grate zucchini and squeeze it firmly in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy cake and ensuring the ideal fudgy texture.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Fold in the zucchini gently and mix just until combined after adding the cake mix to avoid developing gluten, which keeps the cake tender and moist.
- Chocolate Chips Distribution 🍫Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of dry cake mix before folding in to prevent them from sinking to the bottom and ensure even distribution throughout.
- Underbake Slightly for Fudginess 🎂Remove the cake when a toothpick inserted in the center has just a few moist crumbs—it continues cooking as it cools, yielding maximum fudgy richness.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️Use room temperature eggs to help them incorporate smoothly into the batter, creating a more uniform, moist crumb structure throughout the cake.
