Step-by-step method

At a glance

You start with a simple batter of whisked eggs, sugar and fat, to which you add finely grated zucchini, a cocoa flour mixture, yoghurt and a dash of coffee for a richer flavour. Finally, dark chocolate goes in, the batter is simply poured into a baking tin, and after about 40 minutes in the oven you get a wonderfully moist, deeply chocolatey cake.

Whisk the eggs

Whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and foamy. Then add the melted fat (Hera) and continue whisking until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.

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 mine into the batter, but next time I'll sprinkle it on top instead, since most of my chocolate ended up sinking to the bottom, which I wasn't too 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.

About this recipe

I love simple, sweet zucchini cakes. You just pour the batter into a baking tin and bake it. It's easy, quick and delicious. During the season when zucchini seem to grow like weeds in the garden, it's the perfect dessert. For a change, this time I wanted to try something really extra good and extra chocolatey. So I made chocolate zucchini brownies – or rather, a chocolate zucchini cake.
