Ingredients
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- ½ cup oil
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups flour
- 4 tablespoons (¼ cup) cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cloves
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter, oil and sugar.
- Mix in eggs, vanilla, milk and all dry ingredients.
- When mixed well, stir in zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Pour into a well-greased 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan and bake approximately 40 minutes. Alternately, bake in two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You can also make muffins or mini muffins instead; muffins take approximately 30 minutes, and mini muffins take 20. When changing the size of the pan, always keep an eye on your oven to prevent overcooking.
