Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (do not squeeze the liquid out) from about 2 small to medium zucchini
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the butter, oil, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla and eggs and continue mixing until smooth, about 2-3 minutes longer.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined. Fold in the zucchini and the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed, but do not over-mix. The batter will be thick.
  • Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven 40-50 mins, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool in the pan for 20-30 minutes. Run a butter knife between the sides of the pan and the cake to loosen it before turning it out onto the wire rack to cool completely.
