Chocolate Banana Zucchini Cake Recipe

Name: Chocolate Banana Zucchini Cake
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 0.5 cup butter; 2 cups all purpose flour; 0.5 cup cocoa powder; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 0.5 teaspoon baking powder; 0.5 teaspoon salt; 1 cup brown sugar; 4 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 teaspoon coffee granules; 2 large eggs; 1 cup zucchini; 1 large overripe banana; 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips; 8 servings confectioner's sugar - optional

This chocolate cake is packed with grated zucchini and mashed overripe banana, which keep it moist and tender. A hint of coffee deepens the chocolate flavor, and bittersweet chocolate chips melt into pockets throughout. It bakes up in a single 10-inch pan and is simple to put together, with a creamy butter-sugar base and a final fold of the wet and dry ingredients. A dusting of confectioner's sugar is all it needs, though a chocolate glaze would also work.
