If you thought that the recipes for sweets based on unusual ingredients are over, then we have a surprise for you … A surprise for true fans of chocolate and wet biscuits that melt in your mouth. The last characteristics of this chocolate loaf are given by zucchini, the neutral taste of which does not even hint at its presence in the finished delicacy.

The dough is prepared in literally minutes, this time will be enough to wait for the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.

Combine dry ingredients after sifting them. In a separate container on a fine grater, grate the zucchini (do not squeeze excess moisture), beat in a couple of eggs there, pour in the sour cream and add sugar.

Combine dry mix and liquids together. Chocolates can add dark chocolate crumbs to the dough, but this is not necessary.

Pour the dough into a parchment-covered mold (we have 12x22 cm) and leave in the oven for 55–65 minutes. Check readiness with a toothpick.

Remove the cooled loaf from the mold, pour over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the rest of the chocolate chips.

The cut clearly shows how moist each piece is.
