It’s zucchini season and if you make one dessert with zucchini this year, this is the one. Ironically, if you couldn’t see the green flecks, you’d hardly even know zucchini was included. Chocolate chips are woven throughout the cake and chocolate ganache is poured over the top. What your tastebuds tell you that you’re eating is super soft yellow bakery cake with chocolate galore. The ganache is so easy to make and comes together in about 1 minute in the microwave. Chocolate chips, cream, and vanilla. It’s so simple to make but tastes so decadent and the ganache stays a bit soft and silky even over time. My family and I loved this chocolate chip zucchini cake and because it’s made with zucchini I kept telling myself it’s healthier. Which of course justifies eating seconds and thirds.
