Steps
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

- In a bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg yolks with the sugar, and if desired, the vanilla. Add the cocoa powder, zucchini, flour and melted chocolate. Stir with a wooden spoon.
- Clean the electric mixer and whip the egg whites in another bowl until firm peaks form.
- Use a spatula to gently fold the egg whites into the prepared chocolate.
- Grease a round cake pan, 20 cm (8 in.) in diameter, and then pour in the batter.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool.
