- Vanilla2 tsp
- Egg4
- Sour cream1 cup
- Flour3 cups
- Cocoa powder½ cups
- Baking powder2 tsp
- Baking soda1 tsp

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 8 to 9-inch loaf pans with parchment, or spray them with non-stick baking spray.
- Grate the unpeeled zucchini on a medium grater into a large bowl to get about 2 cups. Set aside.
- Beat the softened (not melted) butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs for a few minutes until creamy, then mix in the sour cream for a minute.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the wet batter and mix just until smooth.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips by hand with a spatula.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and level the tops. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top if you like.
- Bake at 350°F for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Lift the loaves out of the pans using the parchment edges and cool on a wire rack for at least 30 to 45 minutes.
- Slice with a serrated knife into 1-inch-thick slices once slightly cooled. Cool leftovers fully before wrapping and storing.
