Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This rich, chocolatey zucchini cake is perfect for using up garden zucchini, and it comes together with simple steps — you'll whisk together eggs and sugar, fold in grated zucchini, mix in the dry ingredients with yogurt and coffee, then add chocolate before baking. The main thing to watch out for is that chocolate tends to sink to the bottom, so consider sprinkling it on top of the batter rather than mixing it in if you want it distributed throughout.

Chocolate

Chop the chocolate — now you have two options. You can either mix it straight into the batter, or sprinkle it over the batter once it's poured into the tin. I mixed it into the batter, but next time I'd rather sprinkle it on top, since a lot of the chocolate ended up sinking to the bottom, which I wasn't so keen on.

Pour into the tin and bake

Grease the cake tin with butter and dust it with fine plain flour. Pour in the batter. Bake at 180°C for about 35 to 40 minutes, with the rack positioned in the middle of the oven.
