ABC bakes with zucchini

This time we're baking a cake with zucchini and chocolate too for the Avid Baker's Challenge. I love cakes with zucchini or carrots, that keep the cake moist and lovely. This cake was very wet and dense in the end. I did bake it about 15 minutes longer than the longest time in the recipe.

It looked good, with just a little rise. But when it cooled it went down again, so apparently it wasn't all baked dry enough. It was cooked though, not raw and you could slice it. Still a bit too moist for my liking. They would have done great as brownies I guess. But in our household, cakes with chocolate don't stay on the counter for long.

Your cake does look extra moist. I wonder what that is from. It looks very good!

My household is the same as yours....if it's chocolate, it gets eaten, especially if it looks like a delicious fudgy brownie like your loaf!

Your loaf does look super moist, but in a VERY good way. I'm glad the family enjoyed it. When I picked this recipe, I realized we hadn't done any chocolate recipes yet, so I'm really happy all the ABC bakers enjoyed it :o)

It is really moist, I would prefer it to be less moist too, other than that, I am sure it is delicious as I had baked cakes using zucchini before.

In my experience, dark chocolate always finds its way into the mouth (at least into mine!)
The juiciness of zucchinis will be the variable. I was a bit afraid, too, whether enough liquid would evaporate through the baking, but for small muffins that might be easier.
