I seriously overhauled a recipe as I am always trying to bake things in a healthier way. This came out better than I thought!

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 c butter or margarine softened
3/4 c unsweetened applesauce
1/2 brown sugar unpacked
2 Tbsp sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c milk- i've used 1% and skim
1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
2 1/2 c flour
2 c grated zucchini
1/2 c semi sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 325. Add the 1/2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice to the skim milk and set aside. You want the milk to curdle.
  • 2. Blend the first 6 ingredients together. Mix in the dry ingredients, then the milk. Batter will be somewhat thick.
  • 3. Fold in zucchini. Spray a 13x9 pan with cooking spray, pour and spread batter.
  • 4. Sprinkle chocolate chips over top of cake. Bake for 40-50 mins. or until done.
