Doesn't this look yummy? Anything with chocolate, chocolate chips and walnuts are a win for me. Sneak in a vegetable and it makes it even yummier! I decided to make this to eat for my breakfasts this week and hoped I could get the girls to want to eat it too. The girls liked the cake and didn't even know there was zucchini in it...believe it or not, it was the walnuts that they objected too. So I made this again and left out the walnuts. Yum.
1/2 box German chocolate cake mix (about 1 2/3 cups)
1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini (about 1 medium)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom and side of 9- or 8-inch round or square cake pan with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, zucchini, cinnamon, cloves, buttermilk, oil and egg with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. Sprinkle evenly with nuts and chocolate chips.
Bake 9-inch pan 27 to 35 minutes, 8-inch pan 32 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
