INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9- by 13- by 2-inch pan. Sift
together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl. Set
aside.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter, vegetable oil and sugar, beating
until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
Next, add the vanilla and chile powder. Mix in the dry ingredients that
have been set aside, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir in the
zucchini.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top of the cake with
the chocolate chips and walnuts.
Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick in center comes out clean.
Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack.
