Tips
Use chocolate ganache in the recipe if you want to, it is not a necessity but if you want to have it in a more chocolaty flavor, you can do so.
You can also try Chocolate zucchini cake with greek yoghurt, using yoghurt as a thickening element so the cake is more creamy in texture and adds a great flavor to it.
Make sure you measure everything that you put in the batters. In the case of baking, measuring everything is of utmost importance.
If you don't want to add zucchinis, you can also try out a variation of the recipe- Chocolate yellow squash cake. You just replace the zucchinis with the yellow squash cake. It takes a bit of trial and error during the taste tests. But eventually they are not so hard once you get the hang of it.
Press a dry and clean towel on the grated zucchini. This will soak up a lot of excess water the zucchinis will be retaining after being grated thinly. The dried zucchinis will aid in a better tasting zucchini chocolate cake.
