A deliciously soft, moist, double chocolate zucchini bread recipe, made from scratch. Ideal for breakfast, brunch or with a cup of tea! Easy to make loaf cake.

I think most people will enjoy a slice of chocolate cake when offered and this double chocolate zucchini bread is a keeper recipe! It's very easy to make and uses basic pantry ingredients and half a zucchini grated in the batter. This is what gives the added moisture.

The texture of this bread is similar to a soft loaf, pound cake, in that the crumb is quite dense and fine.

When baked, you get the characteristic split running down the centre of the loaf, which forms as the cake is rising in the oven. It looks absolutely delicious when baked!

This bread freezes very well, so if you wanted to make a few batches, or perhaps there's just one or two of you at home, you could slice the loaf in half and freeze half for another day.

This is also a great loaf to make for anyone who doesn't like their vegetables. You can't taste any hint of zucchini so great if you want to disguise some vitamins inside a cake!

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 150C, 300F. Grease and line your baking tin.

2. In a mixer, add eggs, sugar, oil and mix for 5 minutes .

3. In a small bowl, add the chocolate and microwave at 15 second intervals until completely melted. Then add the dissolved coffee and stir well. Then add it to the batter. Add the shredded zucchini and combine.

4. In a separate bowl, mix together SIEVED flour, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa. Then add that slowly to the wet mix and combine well.

5. Pour the batter into the greased or lined bread pan and bake at 300 F / 150 C for 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes.

Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes in the pan then place on a cooling rack.
Enjoy!
