Ingredients



• 1¼ cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar 
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup neutral oil
• 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium-sized zucchinis, including the stems)
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• non-stick cooking spray, to grease pan

Procedure

 

Follow these steps to learn how to make chocolate zucchini bread with our whipped butter recipe.

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease the bottom of a 9x5” nonstick loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt, then set aside.
3. Fit the paddle attachment to the bowl of a stand mixer, and beat the sugars and the eggs together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
4. With the mixer on low, stream the oil into the egg mixture just until combined and then add in the zucchini, sour cream, and vanilla extract. 
5. Turn the mixer off and add 1/3 of the dry ingredients, then mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated. Continue the process with the remaining flour until everything is combined. 
6. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and, using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips. 
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and place in the oven to bake for 45 minutes to an hour.
8. While the zucchini bread is cooking, make the whipped butter. 
9. Add the softened butter to a clean stand mixer bowl. Using the paddle attachment, whip the butter on medium speed for 3 - 5 minutes, until the butter is fluffy and almost white in color. Place in a small bowl to serve with the chocolate zucchini bread.
10. When the middle part of the top of the zucchini bread springs back to the touch, it is time to remove it from the oven. 
11. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
