Cinnamon And Orange-Spiced Chocolate Zucchini Cake
- 3 whole Medium Zucchini, Peeled And Chopped
- Butter, To Grease The Pan
- 1-1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1-1/3 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 2/3 cups Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (not Dutch-processed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 3 whole Cinnamon-orange Black Tea Bags, Opened
- 1-3/4 cup Sugar
- 2 whole Large Eggs
- 2/3 cups Canola Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Blackstrap Molasses
- 1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- Powdered Sugar, For Garnish (optional)
- 1. Add the peeled and chopped zucchini to a food processor and process until it forms a chunky paste. Use the zucchini paste to make this cake immediately, or cover the zucchini paste and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days until you're ready to make the cake.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Grease a standard bundt cake pan with butter.
- 3. Whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and tea (from the opened tea bags) together in a large bowl; set aside.
- 4. Beat together the sugar, eggs, and oil until fluffy, then beat in the zucchini (with any juices that have seeped out), molasses, and vanilla.
- 5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet all at once and whisk until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- 6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- 7. Place the pan on a wire rack and cool completely in the pan, then run a knife along the outside of the cake and invert it onto a platter to remove it.
- 8. Before serving, sprinkle with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
