I find that parchment paper works way better to prevent sticking than greasing the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mash the ripe bananas until they are totally pureed<\/strong> in a large mixing bowl. 1 cup mashed ripe bananas is about 2 large bananas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mix in the 1 cup of apple sauce<\/strong>. If you want a sweeter flavor, use 1 cup pureed dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, add the <strong>\u00be cup avocado oil and 3 eggs<\/strong>. Beat to combine and to fluff up the eggs a bit. <strong>Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 cups shredded zucchini <\/strong>and mix to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In a separate bowl, sift together 2\/12 cups wheat flour (or 1:1 gluten free flour), \u00bd cup cacao powder, 2 \u00bd teaspoons baking powder, 1 \u00bd teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add the dry mixture alternatively with milk to the egg mixture.<\/strong> I added half the dry mixture, then half the milk, and repeated with the other 2 halves. Mix your batter until it is just combined. Over mixing can leave you with a chewy cake texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bake in the center rack for 50-60 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Your healthy chocolate zucchini cake will be done when:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-A toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-The top springs back when lightly pressed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Allow your healthy chocolate zucchini cake to cool completely before you add the frosting!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"h-how-to-make-a-one-bowl-chocolate-zucchini-cake\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">How to make a one bowl chocolate zucchini cake:<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you in a time pinch and want to make your chocolate zucchini cake in 1 bowl? Or, like me and you don't want to do ANY extra dishes!! To make this chocolate cake batter in one bowl, grab a large bowl. Add all your dry ingredients and sift them together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, form a well (a hole) in the center of your dry ingredients. Add all your wet ingredients to the center of the well. Whisk the wet ingredients together, being careful not to mix in the dry ingredients yet.

Use the <strong>spoon and level method<\/strong> rather than scooping directly from the bag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not enough moisture<\/strong> \u2013 Ingredients like <strong>apple sauce, mashed banana, and zucchini<\/strong> provide natural moisture. If your zucchini isn\u2019t shredded finely enough or squeezed out too much, the cake may turn out drier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overbaking<\/strong> \u2013 Baking the cake too long or at too high a temperature can remove too much moisture. Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time using a toothpick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Not enough fat<\/strong> \u2013 Healthy fats from <strong>eggs<\/strong>, <strong>avocado oil or coconut oil<\/strong> keep the cake moist. Reducing the oil too much or using substitutions can result in dryness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overmixing the batter<\/strong> \u2013 Mixing too much can develop excess gluten (especially if using wheat flour), making the cake dense and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Fix It<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Add a bit more shredded zucchini or an extra tablespoon of oil if the batter looks too thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for doneness early and remove from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Store the cake properly in an <strong>airtight container<\/strong> to retain moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-can-you-make-a-chocolate-zucchini-cake-vegan\">Can you make a chocolate zucchini cake vegan?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This chocolate zucchini cake can be made vegan! The only thing non vegan in this recipe are the eggs! Instead of an egg, make 1 flax egg. To make a flax egg simply mix 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds with 3 tablespoons water. For the milk, you can use any type of milk that you have. I used vanilla soy milk in my cake batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chocolate avocado frosting has all vegan ingredients already!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-does-zucchini-cake-need-to-be-refrigerated\">Does zucchini cake need to be refrigerated?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No zucchini cake does not need to be refrigerated. I personally don't like storing cakes in the fridge because I don't like eating them cold.  But, if you want to extend its shelf life a little bit, I think you could store in the refrigerator.  Super moist cakes, like zucchini cake, tend to go bad quicker at room temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-do-you-peel-zucchini-for-baking\">Do you peel zucchini for baking?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No! Don't peel the zucchini for baking. It might be tempting to peel the zucchini's skin, but you don't need to. Zucchini melts into the cake, so peeling it is just extra unnecessary work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-long-does-zucchini-cake-last\">How long does zucchini cake last?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Properly stored, freshly baked zucchini cake will last for up to 3 days at room temperature. You can extend its shelf life by storing it in the fridge. Freshly baked zucchini cake will keep for up to a week in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-how-many-calories-are-in-a-piece-of-zucchini-cake\">How many calories are in a piece of zucchini cake?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1&nbsp;<strong>piece<\/strong> with frosting: 495&nbsp;<strong>calories<\/strong>, 21g fat (1.9g polyunsaturated 14.4 monounsaturated), 79g carbohydrate (6.5g fiber), 8g protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chocolate-zucchini-cake-with-avocado-frosting-6-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"healthy chocolate zucchini cake with chocolate frosting recipe\" class=\"wp-image-5308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chocolate-zucchini-cake-with-avocado-frosting-6-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chocolate-zucchini-cake-with-avocado-frosting-6-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chocolate-zucchini-cake-with-avocado-frosting-6-560x747.jpg 560w, https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/chocolate-zucchini-cake-with-avocado-frosting-6.jpg 903w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <a href=\"https:\/\/thehintofrosemary.com\/healthy-dessert-recipes\/\">Healthy Baked Dessert Recipes<\/a> you're going to love!
