- 3. Sift together the flour, cococoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl.
- 4. In a seperate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the remaining oil and the agave nectar. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add the melted chocolate/oil mixture and vanilla and beat.
- 5. On low speed, add the flour mixture and the yogurt and mix just until combined. Fold in the zucchini.
