Preheat oven to 350 degrees
F (180 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Grease (or spray with
a nonstick vegetable spray) a 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pan. Set aside.
Grate
the zucchini, using a medium sized grater. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the
flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and
ground allspice. Set
aside.
In the bowl of your electric
mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the
oil,
sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended (about 2 minutes). Fold
in the grated zucchini.
Add the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Then
fold in the chocolate chips.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the bread has risen and
a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes.
Place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove the bread from
the pan and cool completely.
Makes one - 9 x 5 x 3 inch
loaf.
