Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, large eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the grated zucchini into the batter, ensuring you’ve squeezed out any excess moisture beforehand.
  4. Add the chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, and salt into the batter. Fold these ingredients in gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, making sure to spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick.
  7. Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  8. Let it sit for about 30 minutes on the rack to allow the flavors to meld before slicing.

Notes

Avoid a soggy loaf by thoroughly squeezing excess water from the grated zucchini before mixing it into the batter. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
