Instructions

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

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.

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 in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy cake and ensuring optimal texture.
Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄
Fold ingredients gently until just combined after adding zucchini and chocolate chips to maintain a tender crumb structure rather than a dense cake.
Toast Your Chocolate Chips 🍫
Lightly toast chocolate chips in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before adding to intensify chocolate flavor and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing to ensure even distribution and help create a more uniformly moist, fudgy cake throughout.
Cool in the Pan First ⏱️
Let the cake cool for 15 minutes in its pan before turning out to prevent crumbling, then finish cooling on a wire rack for even moisture distribution.
