Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9×13″ pan. Combine sugars,
butter and oil. Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla and mix well. Sift
together the flour, cocoa, soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the
mixture. Stir in zucchini. Pour into pan and sprinkle chips over the
top. Bake 45 mins, cool, then turn out on wire rack.

This is a really moist cake that may last for awhile.

Catlyn’s, a wonderful gourmet-to-go deli makes.

chocolate chips 2 c zuchini, unpeeled, grated (grate medium by hand)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.

In a bowl, cream butter and eggs. Add oil, vanilla and sugar. Blend
