Chocolate-Zucchini Cake

I mentioned this cake (with a side of vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce) being our Chistmas eve dessert and was asked for the recipe. So here goes:

150 grams Butter 150 grams sugar (if you like it sweet you can go up to 200 grams) with a dash of salt and a small packet (ca 13 grams) of vanillin (vanilla sugar) 3 medium sized eggs 120 grams dark / cooking chocolate 350 grams zucchini (grated) 50 grams almonds (ground) 200 grams flour with one packet (ca 10 grams) baking soda

Oven at 180° Celsius

  1. Mix the butter until it's soft/ fluffy, add sugar, salt and vanillin, keep mixing
  2. Add eggs until the mass is smooth
  3. Add flour and mix until mass is a light color
  4. Break chocolate into bite-size chunks, put into pan with 2 Tbs of water and melt on low flame (constant stirring!)
  5. When chocolate mass is smooth add to the cake mass and mix
  6. Add almonds
  7. Remove mass from mixer. Add zucchini by stirring it into the mass with a big spoon or similar
  8. Greas cake form and pour mass in
  9. Bake at 180° celcius for ca. 55min Check inside of the cake with two toothpicks. The cake is ready when it's moist but not "liquidy/sticky". Let cool

I hope you like it as much as i do! Enjoy
