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).

Dust with confectioners’ sugar just before serving, if desired.
