My sister Susi told me about this cake after making it for my niece’s birthday. It’s very chocolatey, very moist and keeps extremely well. Drizzle with chocolate ganache for added decadence.

Preheat oven to 180℃ (350℉). Grease and flour a Kugelhupf pan. In a medium bowl stir together 2 cups of all purpose flour, 2 cups of white sugar, ¾ of a cup of good quality unsweetened cocoa, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ a teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Add 4 eggs and 1½ cups of vegetable oil. Fold in  ¾ of a cup of chopped walnuts and 3 cups of grated zucchini. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the cake tests clean.
