Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread

Believe it or not, I am not a huge chocolate fan. I'd take white cake to chocolate any day. On the off chance, that I do want chocolate, I want whatever I'm going to eat to be over the top chocolate. So here it is. Zucchini bread. . .with an extreme chocolate twist.

Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread

3 cup shredded raw zucchini
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Here's where the dark color comes in, I used Hershey's Dark Chocolate Cocoa)
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray two loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt, then set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla extract and coffee.

4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix.

5. Stir in zucchini.
