Yield:
1 (9x13-inch) cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil

  • 4 eggs

  • 3 cups grated zucchini

  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  2. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add oil and eggs; mix well until just combined. Fold in zucchini and walnuts until they are evenly distributed; pour cake batter into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool cake completely before frosting with your favorite frosting.
