Zuke Snack Cake

This recipe is from the Flat Belly Diet Book. We are trying this afternoon for our snack. It looks good.

1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt

1/3 cup canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini

3 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Coat an 11x 8 baking pan with cooking spray

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl

Whisk the eggs, sugar, yogurt, oil and vanilla extract in a medium bow. Whisk in the zucchini and 1 1/2 cups of chips. Stir into the flour mixture just until blended. Spread into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups chips over the cake. Spread with a small spatula as they melt to form an icing, placing back into the warm oven, if needed for about 1 minute.
