Notes
1. Zucchini - grate zucchini then measure 3 cups, lightly packed (ie don't push it in tightly, just place it in).
2. Cocoa powder - dutch processed has a stronger chocolate flavour. Ordinary cocoa powder is just fine too!
3. Baking soda - also known as bi carbonate soda. Sub with 4.5 tsp baking powder.
4. Chocolate -eating or cooking chocolate will work just fine here, as long as its semi-sweetened or sweet. Do not use unsweetened! I used Lindt dark cooking chocolate in the video and photos. It holds up slightly better during baking if there's any poking up above the surface - which usually there is not. So it doesn't really matter!
5. Squeezing zucchini - Don't need to go overboard squeezing out excess liquid, just get out what you can. The remaining moisture in the zucchini is what makes the bread so moist!
