The BEST Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This chocolate zucchine cake is the MOST amazing chocolate cake you could imagine! You would NEVER guess that this insanely moist chocolate cake has zucchini in it! The hidden vegetable really just adds a lot of moisture to the cake without altering the super chocolatey flavor. I can’t even tell you how good the whipped chocolate buttercream is. You just have to make this cake. Or you can make regular zucchini bread, up to you I guess. 😂
Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/chocolate-z...
The cake is super-fudgy, full of chocolate chipps and that buttercream is just magical, I think it has JUST the right proportion of cocoa powder, butter, salt and sugar. Would this be one of your favorite zucchini recipes?
Chocolate cake decorating is so fun when you have a few different chocolate textures to play with. I loved how the ganache, shards, cocoa powder and butter cream come together to make this cake look as mouth watering as it tastes!

    Re: using the grater - if you don't chop of the tops of the zucchini, you can use the knob on the top to hold on to, thus saving fingers from getting cut on grater! Just sayin'...

    This cake is absolutely amazing!!!! I made it yesterday & OMG! It is outrageous how yummy it is! The only few changes I made was using a large rectangular cake pan because I did not have three 8-inch round cake pans. I only had two. I am also gluten free, so I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour instead of regular all-purpose. This is going in my recipe notebook, so I have it when family and friends load me up with lots of zucchini again. Thanks for the video tutorial and recipe! You are awesome!

    I made this tonight, it was awesome!! I cut out a cup of sugar, half a cup of oil and melted the chocolate chips (I don't like my cakes to have any crunch/texture). It was soft and perfectly chocolatey, not bitter not overly sweet. I used the chocolate whipped cream from his chocolate cheesecake recipe instead of the frosting and ganache that this recipe calls for. It was absolutely the right choice!! I made it in a 11x17 inch pan - this recipe makes A LOT of cake, so invite over friends to help you eat it!

    I have tried this and it's amazing!!! Zucchini makes the cake moist. I just use a handwhisk and cut the recipe in half and reduced the sugar for my mom. Didn't manage to do the buttercream since it's already 1am by the time i finished the cake and ganache so i just whipped some of the chilled ganache and used it as the filling (?). Will try again and use the buttercream🙏😊

    I made this cake for my father in law 89th birthday. He is a chocoholic and I wanted him to have his dream cake. With lockdown, we all know old people don’t go out as much and he doesn’t get his usual brownies and sweets nowadays 😝 Well, I messed up the ganache so the cake was less elegant than John’s one, although it was not too bad 😂😂😂 it was a *huge* success. My MIL complimented me, normally she doesn’t like chocolate cakes, and she had a big piece. My boys, ate everything and didn’t detect the zucchini at all, and they loved it. I will make it again, it is amazing! Thank you John, all your recipes are brilliant! 💖

I reduced the recipe by a third as I only had 2x 8inch cake tins. It worked beautifully, as did your buttercream icing and I will certainly be making this again.

    I am a huge fan of urs. You inspired me in baking.... Try this. Take a large paper plate, cut out a hole in the middle so that the paddle attachement can move around from inside, connect the paddle attachement to the standing mixture, placing the paper plate (upside down) in between. While mixing, make sure you hold the paper plate on place(if needed) so that it perfectly covers the top of the bowl. The dry ingredients wont make a mess around again. :) :)
