Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9X13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. See recipe notes for using 9-inch layer cake pans.
Step 2
In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. If using a mixer, mix on low speed until combined.
Step 3
Add the eggs, oil, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix well, using a mixer on medium speed. The batter will be very thick.
Step 4
Fold in the grated zucchini and mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
Step 5
Bake for 50-60 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Use a toothpick inserted in the middle to test if the cake is done. Cool completely before frosting.

Chocolate Frosting

Step 6
In a large bowl beat together the softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, cocoa powder, sour cream, and salt until the powdered sugar is mixed in.
Step 7
Add the milk and additional 1 cup powdered sugar. Beat on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until well combined and fluffy. Spread on cooled cake.
