1 1/4 cups zucchini
7 tablespoons cashews
5 1/4 tablespoons butter
4 3/4 tablespoons dark chocolate with 70% cocoa content
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar or 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
6 3/8 tablespoons all purpose flour
5 teaspoons natural cocoa powder unsweetened
1 teaspoon baking powder
chocolate chips optional
icing sugar optional

1
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius/ 340 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a brownie pan (mine is 22 x 24 cm/ 8.6 x 9.5 inches) with baking paper.
2
Grate the zucchini and roughly chop the cashews.
3
Place the butter and the roughly chopped chocolate into a small pan and heat gently until melted. Do not let boil. Leave to cool for a few minutes while preparing the rest.
4
Place the eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar into a bowl and whisk up with a hand-held mixer until frothy.
5
Mix the flour, cocoa and baking powder together and give over the egg mixture. Incorporate and add the butter-chocolate mixture. Add the zucchini and the cashews and incorporate everything. You can add some chocolate chips here if you like.
6
Pour this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven and also the size of the pan. Insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake. It should come out still a little moist. Leave to cool and dust with icing sugar if desired.
7
It keeps well in an airtight container for several days.
