Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake Recipe
This chocolate zucchini bundt cake is soft, rich, and full of chocolate flavor. It starts with a cake mix but tastes completely homemade thanks to the shredded zucchini and sour cream. The zucchini adds moisture without altering the taste, and the ganache on top makes it feel a little more special.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box Devil’s food cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
- ¾ cup canola or vegetable oil
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded zucchini about 2 medium
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- ¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan with baking spray or butter and flour.
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, sour cream, and eggs until mostly smooth.
- Fold in shredded zucchini and 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Heat the heavy cream until steaming, then pour it over the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 1 to 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it over the cooled cake. Let it set before slicing.
Notes
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- The unglazed cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap the unglazed cake tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw at room temperature, then add ganache just before serving.
