Servings: persons

1/4 cup plain apple sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
1 egg
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder (I use Hershey's special dark)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1
["Pre-heat the oven to 350u00b0F and grease a bread loaf pan or a 8?x8? brownie pan. Cut a piece of parchment to the size of the bottom of the pan and place inside.", "Mix the wet ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Mix the dry ingredients, sifting if there are lumps, in a large bowl and make a well in the middle.
2
Pour the wet into the well made in the dry ingredients. Add the zucchini last and stir by hand until the flour disappears.
3
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.", "Bake for 45 (brownie 8x8) - 55( loaf) minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
4
Cool on a rack for 20 minutes before attempting to remove the hot loaf. The parchment should help release the loaf from the bottom of the pan, you may need to poke a knife around the sides carefully as not to cut the loaf.
5
I call it a loaf thinking you're baking it in a bread pan, and cake when baked in a brownie pan. I used a brownie pan and it worked fabulously! This cake will keep in the fridge in a sealed bag for up to a week. If you're having a tea party, this would be a nice addition to the table."]
