Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread

I like to convince myself that if I throw some zucchini in a cake it makes it healthy. So when I am on a "diet" but still need my Shabbat breakfast cake, I turn to a zucchini laden cake and pretend I'm not cheating at all. The truth is that it has to be a little healthier than a regular cake but you practically cannot tell- it is moist, chocolate-y and goes GREAT with a steaming cup of Joe. Lately, I have been obsessed with my loaf pan, hence the flood of pound cake and quick bread recipes. When this stage passes I plan on moving to my Bundt pan-stay tuned!
