Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis), squeezed to remove excess water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (50g)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (115g)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (30g)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks (175g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate about 2 medium zucchinis and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined; do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips gently but thoroughly.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the cream cheese mixture over it and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat with remaining batter and cream cheese mixture.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted near the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Remove excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy bread. Use room temperature eggs and cream cheese for smooth blending. Swirl cream cheese mixture in layers for pockets of creamy fudge. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Let bread cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
