For the Cake
317 gr all-purpose flour
75 gr Dutch-process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
113 gr unsalted butter (vegan) at room temperature
110 gr coconut oil, melted and cooled to room temp, heb geconcentreerde cocoscream genomen
280 gr granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs of 1 grote banaan (ca 160 gr, volg keer een ander substituut doen zoals flaxseed, het smaakt echt naar banaan)
130 gr plain Greek yogurt, heb gewone soja-Jogurth genomen
3 cups shredded zucchini, 1 grote courgette (ca 550 gr)
40 gr sweetened flaked coconut
85 gr chocolate chips, pure chocolade in stukjes
For the Coconut Frosting
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup toasted coconut, for sprinkling cake
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 9" x 13" pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, coconut oil, and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs (or vegan substitution) and vanilla extract, beat until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt and mix until combined.
Slowly mix in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the zucchini, coconut, and chocolate chips. Spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, until the top springs back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
While the cake is cooling, make the coconut frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add in the coconut and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
Frost the cooled cake with coconut frosting. Sprinkle toasted coconut over the top of the cake. Cut cake into pieces and serve. Heb ik niet gedaan, ook zonder al lekker.
