Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a classic cake mold and place baking paper on the bottom if you wish; so it comes off easily.
Beat the egg and sugar.
Beat the eggs and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes. When the mixture opens and becomes slightly foamy, add the vanilla and mix briefly.
Add the zucchini
Add grated zucchini. If the zucchini is very juicy, squeeze it gently in the palm of your hand; We do not want the dough to become too watery.
Mix the dry ingredients
Mix flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and cocoa in a separate bowl. This way, the rising agents are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Assemble the dough
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in 2–3 times. Mix with a spatula just until the flour disappears; Over mixing will make the bread tough.
Add the chocolate (optional)
If you are using chocolate chips, add them last and gently mix them into the dough.
Bake
Transfer the dough to the mold and smooth the top. Bake for about 60 minutes; When the toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, take it out of the oven.
Rest and slice
Leave it in the mold for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and cool completely. It slices more evenly when it cools.
