I love this weeks Sunday Supper theme of Squash Fest because I'm always looking for different ways to enjoy squash and I can't wait to check out all the tasty recipes that are shared!
I couldn't think of a better way to bring the family back to the dinner table then this Chocolate Zucchini Coffee Cake With Chocolate Crumb it's definitely one of my favorite uses for squash because it's filled with zucchini and lots of chocolaty goodness.
Shhh...Don't tell I ate a slice for breakfast and think it's perfect for brunch or dessert and loved every bite.
It's perfectly chocolaty and super moist with a crunchy chocolate crumb.
You have to make Chocolate Zucchini Coffee Cake with Chocolate Crumb sooner then later.

Pour chocolate zucchini cake into pan and spread evenly.
Press chocolate crumb mixture between fingers and distribute evenly over the top of the cake.

ReplyDeleteI love the along the way photographs, nice touch. And the Chocolate Zucchini Coffeecake looks and sounds amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing & love, love the chocolate crumble!
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate crumb is ingenious, Serena. There is something about the texture of wheat flour that adds something je ne sais quo. But I do know your whole creation looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so rich and moist, great zucchini cake recipe!!
ReplyDeleteYummm, coffee cake is probably my favorite kind of cake. Love the crumb topping!
ReplyDeleteWow! I need this right now to keep me going the rest of the day. It looks decadent, and moist!
ReplyDeleteThis coffee cake looks so delicious with the crumb topping! I need to make this soon.
ReplyDeleteBest way to eat your greens EVER!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh I just want to like my screen. This coffee cake is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteVeggies for breakfast is a good thing, especially when they are hidden inside this lovely cake.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are great and that looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling! Your cake looks and sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I am bummed because zucchini season here is apparently coming to a close and I used my last two from the farmer's market tonight for zoodles. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will have some this weekend. I know I could use one from the grocery store, but I try to stick to my CSA and the farmer's market this time of year. If you have a moment, I would love it if you would link it up with us at Foodie Fridays...our party this week is closed, but our next one starts at 9 pm Thursday night, EST. Regardless, I'm pinning this. :)
ReplyDeleteThese looks soooo good Serena!! That crumb topping is pretty cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect recipe for me! Crumb cake anything is awesome, and doubly so with chocolate
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me why the apple cider vinegar?!
ReplyDeleteHi! It causes a chemical reaction with the baking soda to make the cake fluffier. Happy Baking! -Serena
