Servings 10
Equipment
approx. 11 cm x 25 cm loaf pan
Ingredients
260gzucchini
150gdark chocolate melted(for the dough)
150gbrown sugar
1bananaripe
approx. 100mlplant milk(e.g. soy, almond or oat milk)
Mix flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, cornstarch, instant coffee powder, baking powder and salt.
Mash banana with a fork, add plant milk, vanilla as well as vegetable oil and mix it. Take a little less vegetable milk first and add the rest as needed in the next step.
Add the liquid banana mixture to the dry flour mixture and mix it into a creamy dough. The batter should not be too runny, but not too firm either. If it's too firm for you, add more plant milk.
Coarsely grate the zucchini. Stir the shredded zucchini and melted dark chocolate into the banana flour mixture.
Line the baking pan with baking paper, pour the creamy batter into the pan, sprinkle with chopped dark chocolate and bake the chocolate zucchini bread in a preheated oven at 170 °C for about 1 hour. Let it cool down a bit in the baking pan, then take it out together with baking paper and let it cool down completely.
Notes
Use a little less plant milk first and add the rest later if needed, if your dough is not thick but too firm.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch and baking powder best.
Do not stir the dough too long.
Use good quality dark chocolate with high cocoa content.
Line loaf pan with baking paper.
Do chopstick test to check if the cake is done baking.
Let the chocolate bread cool thoroughly before cutting.
