This delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake is so decadent with the addition of milk chocolate chips evenly distributed throughout it and the thick chocolate glaze drizzled on top.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 10 cup bundt pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. This is optional, but you can dust the bundt pan with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder. This will help keep the cake from sticking. Tap out an excess cocoa powder.
In a large mixing bowl, add in the butter, granulated and brown sugar. Mix with a hand mixer on medium speed until creamed.
Add in vanilla and eggs one at a time. Mix on medium and scrape down the sides of the bowl after each egg.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk until incorporated. Set 1/4 cup of the dry ingredients aside in a small bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter/sugar mixture starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Scrape down the bowl after each addition.
Fold in the zucchini and dry ingredients/milk chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and evenly spread out.
Place in the oven for 65 to 70 minutes or until done. Place a skewer in the center of the cake and if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, it's done!
Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely before pouring glaze on it.
Chocolate Glaze
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add in cocoa powder, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until incorporated and the butter is melted.
Stir in the vanilla and the powdered sugar until combined. The glaze will start to get thick.
Add the hot water a teaspoon at a time and stir until combined. Do this until your glaze reaches the desired consistency.
Turn the bundt cake out onto a cake plate and drizzle the glaze on the cake.
