chocolate zucchini cake or cupcakes

350 degrees   bundt pan or 18 cupcake pan     55 mins for cake    22-25 mins cupcakes
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup oil
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cup flour  I use 1 1/2 cup all purpose 1 cup whole wheat
1/3 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup half/half cream or milk
2 cup finely grated zucchini
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup of unsalted nuts chopped  if desired. I leave them out so the kids can take these to school.

cream together butter,oil and sugar
add eggs,vanilla  beat well
stir all dry ingredients together and add 1/2 to butter mix
add 1/2 milk mix
add remaining flour mix
add remaining milk mix well

stir in zucchini, chocolate chips and nuts

these are so moist and chocolatey that there is no need for frosting.
I have super picky kids in my daycare so I partially  peel my zucchini because the kid will pull things apart looking for "weird stuff"
