Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Having a birthday in the summer usually means I get to celebrate it at Girl's Camp!!  Chantal made this yummy cake for me so I could have something home-baked and chocolate on my birthday one year.  It's moist and gets even more delicious after a couple of days if it lasts that long!  Both the great friend and recipe are "keepers"!!

1/2 cup butter-softened

1/2 cup oil

1  3/4 cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 1/2 cups flour

4 T. unsweetend cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cloves

2 cups grated zucchini or pumpkin or carrots (or combine them if you want!)

1/4 cup chocolate chips

Cream butter, oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.  Mix in zucchini.  Add all dry ingredients.  Pour into a greased 9x13 inch pan or 2 loaf pans.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips.  Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
