Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch (20-23cm) cake pan.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and nuts. Set aside.
- In the mixing bowl beat together the sugar, eggs & yolk until light, about 3 minutes on medium/low speed, then beat in the melted cooled butter and then the grated zucchini add the dry ingredients and combine until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour into the prepared cake pan, sprinkle with some chocolate chips if desired and bake for about 50-60 minutes test for doneness with a tooth pick (it may take more or less time depending on your oven). Let cool before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can easily make your own cake flour, for every cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons and substitute with corn starch, sift the two together and there you have homemade cake or pastry flour.
