Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake

This recipe from my mother-in-law is one I couldn’t find anywhere online. It is unique because of its tasty crumb topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sour milk (add a little lemon juice to sour it)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 generous cups grated zucchini
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (mix some into the batter and then sprinkle some on top)
  • For crumb topping, mix together:
  • 1/4 cup softened butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 23 tablespoons cocoa

Instructions

  1. Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then blend them. Bake at 325 in a greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan for 40-45 minutes. After the cake has baked for about 20 minutes, sprinkle the crumb topping over the cake and continue baking.
