Chocolate Zucchini Cake (Bread)

Mix together in a large bowl:

2 cups flour (brown rice flour for gluten free)
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt (or less)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. allspice
4 tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp xantham gum (for gluten free)

In another smaller bowl whisk together:

1/2 cup vegetable oil (could replace with applesauce)
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini

Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just mixed. Bake @ 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes in a bread pan.

I use Agave nectar too in place of some of the sugar, although it makes the bread a little more "wet." Adding an extra 1/4 cup of flour usually takes care of that if you want to replace the whole cup. Its yummy!
