Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Enter this Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Cake! Whether you are following a vegan diet, have loved ones with dietary requirements, or want to enjoy a healthy-ish dessert, this recipe is for you. Three super moist, perfectly sweet, and extra chocolatey cake layers are frosted with light and fluffy dairy-free buttercream. Decorate with chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, and you’ll have the most delicious vegan cake to share with family and friends.Â
This recipe is easy to make. Start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add in the wet ingredients. Finally, fold in the shredded zucchini. Most commonly, I would tell you to squeeze the liquid out of the shredded zucchini, but in this case, it adds extra moisture to the cake. Divide the batter between three greased cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Once baked, allow the cakes to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the dairy-free buttercream icing. Assemble the cake and decorate as desired. Slice, eat and enjoy!Â
