Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini (trimmed and grated)
- 2⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup butter (melted)
- 4½ cups cake flour (or AP flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
- Butter or baking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Start the Zucchini Batter:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9x12 baking pan and set aside.
- Combine the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and whisk with a hand mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, heavy cream, and melted butter and whisk again until smooth.
Sift the Dry Ingredients:
- Sift the flour into a second bowl and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the sifted dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients. Use the hand mixer to whisk until just combined. Do not over-mix the flour!
- Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Bake the Zucchini Bars:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Transfer to the oven for 40-50 minutes. Test with a toothpick at 40 minutes. If it doesn't come out clean, bake an additional 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
To Serve:
- After the zucchini bars are cooked through, remove from the oven to cool. As soon as you remove from the oven, sprinkle a few additional chocolate chips on top and allow them to melt into the top of the zucchini bars. After the loaf as cooled, slice into bars.
