Chocolate Zucchini Cupcake

I made a few batch of zucchini cupcakes before and it turn out dry and completely inedible, a complete waste! So I tried my luck again today and I'm totally impressed and happy with the result! I love the addition of zucchini on these little treats and you would never guess the secret ingredient simply by taste. You will definitely score if you're serving a picky eater!




Zucchini creates a moist cake and make it slightly healthier and perfect compliment to this delicious and moist chocolate cupcakes!

⅓  cup cocoa powder
3   premium eggs
1¾ cups packed brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups A.P flour
1 tsp baking powder (aluminum free)
1 tsp baking soda (aluminum free)
½ tsp salt
2 cups organic zucchini, grated

directions
  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar for about 10 minutes or until thickened and pale. Blend in oil and cocoa powder into the egg mixture.
  • In a medium bowl, sift and stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt;
  • Stir the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the egg mixture until just blended and stir in zucchini.
  • Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full.
