  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a 9x13 pan with butter (or use baking spray) and line with parchment paper. (Allow parchment paper to go up the sides for easy removal.)
  • In a large bowl combine oil, sugar, and vanilla until fully incorporated.
  • Add flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined. Batter will be very dry.
  • Fold in zucchini by hand. Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes.
