For an even richer chocolate flavor, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. Squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the grated zucchini to prevent the cake from becoming soggy. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. To prevent the top of the cake from browning too quickly, you can tent it with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
