Ingredients
  

1 cup grated zucchini (well-drained)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for added richness)

1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

4-6 large or medium tortillas or flatbreads (for wrapping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by either lightly greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor. To ensure it's not soggy, place the grated zucchini between layers of paper towels and press gently to squeeze out any excess moisture.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This step is essential for aerating the flour and ensuring that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and all components are well combined.

          Incorporate the Zucchini: Gently fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

            Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to prevent over-mixing. If you're adding chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage for a delightful burst of chocolate flavor.

              Bake the Cake: Pour the resulting batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

                Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake into rectangular pieces that will fit into your wraps.

                  Prepare Wraps: Take a piece of the chocolate zucchini cake and place it in the center of each tortilla or flatbread. Carefully roll it up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to create a secure wrap.

                    Dust and Serve: Finally, dust the wraps with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. These wraps can be served immediately, or wrapped in parchment paper for a delightful treat on-the-go!
