Ingredients
  

1 medium zucchini, grated (approximately 1 cup)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for an extra touch of chocolate)

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional, for presentation)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for easy cake removal.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Twist and squeeze the towel to remove excess moisture, making sure the zucchini is relatively dry. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture in your cake.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.

        Combine Sugars and Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. Next, crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

          Incorporate Zucchini: Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredient mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.

            Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually introduce the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If desired, toss in the mini chocolate chips and fold them evenly into the batter.

              Pour and Bake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan and spread it evenly across the surface. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

                Cool: Allow the cake to rest in the pan for about 10 minutes to cool slightly, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Cut and Serve: Once cooled, slice the cake into wraps or squares. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish. These delicious treats can be enjoyed as they are or paired with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

                    Enjoy: Indulge in the delightful, moist chocolate zucchini wraps and appreciate the hidden health benefits of the zucchini in each scrumptious bite!
