PREPARATION

Preparation time 30 minutes | for 12 pieces in a small baking dish

First of all, line the baking dish with baking paper. In a small saucepan, melt butter with chocolate at low temperature and stir. Wash the zucchini, trim the ends and roughly grate. Collect the grated zucchini in a strainer and squeeze the juice well. Whip eggs with raw cane sugar and bourbon vanilla with mixer on high speed until sugar is dissolved and a creamy white mixture is formed. Mix flour with cocoa and baking powder well, sprinkle over egg mixture and fold in with a pastry scraper. Then fold in the warm butter-chocolate mixture, zucchini shavings, lemon zest and cashews. Pour the batter into the pan, smooth it out and bake in the oven at 150 °C (convection oven) for about 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Enjoy it.
