2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted, slightly cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 cup grated zucchini (from about half a medium zucchini)

Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional

Preparation :

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until light, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each and scraping down sides of bowl. Reduce speed to low; beat in chocolate and vanilla.

4. Add flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with buttermilk. Fold in zucchini (batter will be stiff). Spread evenly in pan; bake until top springs back slightly when touched in center, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar just before serving, if desired.
