Chocolate Zuchinni Bundt Cake

This is delicious...moist and chocolate chippy goodness!
The last time i made this i put a layer of chocolate glaze on it...delicious!

This recipe belongs to barbarabakes.com where she has many other delicious things to make..


  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup sour cream ( i didn't have sour cream so used cherry yogurt)
  • 3 cups grated zucchini*
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (can use mini as well)
  • 1 cup dried cherries cut in half (or dried cranberries) or raisins maybe some pineapple...your choice!

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 half size or a full size bundt pan and set aside.
  2. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
  3. In large mixing bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well blended. Add sour cream and beat until well blended.
  4. Add dry ingredients and mix just until combine. Mix in zucchini, chocolate chips coated in 2 tablespoons flour, and dried fruit.
  5. Divide batter between pans. Bake half size bundts for 35 minutes; full size bundt for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
Sometimes i add a glaze to this..not needed..just an extra bonus... Enjoy!
