fudgy chocolate cake bread loaf with chocolate icing

When zucchini season comes around, this will always be the first recipe I make. This loaf is so decadent and chocolatly without being cloyingly sweet. The chocolate icing on top is the perfect sweet touch that brings the slight sweetness to the semi-sweet chocolate chunks laced within the loaf. My favorite thing about this bread is that you can eat a pretty large piece without feeling like you just ate a big piece of cake even though that’s what it tastes like. Also, you can’t even tell that there’s a cup of zucchini in it! It’s absolutely insane!!! 🍫🍫

We’ve been known to secretly toss fruit/veggies into our recipes while keeping them extremely DELICIOUS and MOIST, but not mushy! It’s very difficult to incorporate fresh produce into recipes because of the high moisture content, so we take a lot of pride in these types of recipes and this loaf is one of our absolute favorites!

Let the baking begin!
