Ingredients:
1/2 cup soft margarine
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 whole eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
*1/2 cup sour milk
2 1/2 cups flour (sifted)
4 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
2 cups finely diced zucchini (do not shred)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Cream, margarine, oil & sugar.
Add eggs, vanilla & sour milk - beat (electric mixer)
Mix together all dry ingredients & add to creamed mixture - beat well.
Stir in diced zucchini.
Spoon batter into greased & floured 9" x 12" pan.
Sprinkle top with chocolate chips.
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-55 minutes until done.
Needs no frosting.
Tip:
To firmly dice zucchini, slice it crosswise in 1/4" slices, take each slice, chop in half & remove & discard entire half moon of pulp & seeds. The remaining half circle of firm flesh, 1/4" thick, can easily diced in 1/4" chunks. If skin is tender, it will not need to be peeled.
* To make sour milk, add 1 tsp. lemon juice to 1/2 cup milk - let stand 5 minutes before using.
Yummy - expect "raves"!
