Recipe is created for
TM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

This is amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect after reading all the comments, however mine had more than enough rise and turned out so delicious! I only had a smallish zucchini (110g) and I used extra virgin olive oil instead of coconut oil/butter and it worked out fine. Really moist and surprisingly chocolatey.

Mine did not rise at all. Not sure what went wrong, the only thing I did different was to sub for normal flour.

Made mine into muffins. Used cocoa, normal flour, dextrose and avocado oil as substitues and didn't squeeze out zucchini.
Great, healthier lunchbox treat for the kids.

Great healthy recipe for the
Great healthy recipe for the whe family, the chocolate was yum. I also didn't squeeze out the zucchini and used normal flour. My 3 year old and 10mths old loved this, super moist and fluffy/light. My zucchini was pretty big and I wished I grinned it for longer as the bits were a little on the big side but no one complained
Great gluten free recipe. I
Great gluten free recipe. I didn't have the coconut flour so substituted it for GF flour. Worked beautifull.
Lovely. Kids have given me 3
Lovely. Kids have given me 3 reasons to eat another slice: It's Yum, It's Healthy, I want More! I substituted Teff flour for the GF plain flour and didn't bother with the step that required squeezing out the moisture.
Excellent recipe! Made this
Excellent recipe! Made this into muffins and it was moist and delicious. I was worried I'd removed a bit too much moisture from the zucchini so I only used 25gr of coconut flour, and I did 3/4 tsp of baking powder and soda after reading previous comments that the mixture didn't rise, and it worked well. I also added a handful of chopped walnuts. Loved it and will be making a second batch today and another batch for my daughters 4th bday in a few days. Thanks for posting!
This is really nice and easy
This is really nice and easy to make. I used rice syrup instead of sugar and only used 40g. Very moist and although he didn't think it looked much the husband really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the recipe.

I have the same problem, so looked it up. An average, medium zucchini weighs approx 200g. Maybe use a chunk of a giant one and make spring rolls or something with the rest.

Made this last night, found
Made this last night, found the 'Batter' to be very dry but persisted as I followed recipe exactly and made 12 cupcakes. They didn't rise very much and came out like small rounds of dirt I'm not sure what I did wrong, dissapointed.

Wow what a cake. We all loved
Wow what a cake. We all loved it, but especially my son who has extreme food allergies and needs to follow a fodmap diet due to fructose malabsorption. I made it for his birthday , then again the next day for friends who were visiting. Have been asked for the recipe 3 times already!!
OMG just made this cake.
OMG just made this cake. Please let this be the last food I taste before I go to heaven. Even licking the bowl was an amazing experience. Thank you Mandi for another wonderful GF recipe
Nice recipe, though next time
Nice recipe, though next time I will peel zucchini first as my kids questioned the bits of green they found in it.
I doubled the recipe and it made 13 big cupcakes for school lunch boxes.
About how much would a
About how much would a 'medium' zucchini weigh? I have zucchini in the garden that are anything from small to giants according to how long it is before I pick them - a medium one of them would be one of the largest available in my grocers. A cm size for the zucchini would be very helpful.
Turned out really nice. Not
Turned out really nice. Not too sweet - just right. Used 80 g of raw sugar. Was surprisingly moist and stayed so until it disappeared. May use more cacao for a more chocolatey taste.

I am waiting impatiently for mine to come out of the over. I am a little perplexed by how little cake batter I had. Is this normal?

Delicious, I didn't have any gluten free flour so used plain flour. These didn't last long in our house, enjoyed by children and adults.

I don't usually like chocolate cake.However a revolution may be in the air. It's moist not too rich and tasty. And as for the zucchini what zucchini?
