Chocolate Zucchini Cake Recipe (my fave chocolate cake!) - Pai's Kitchen
This is my favourite chocolate cake recipe which I've been making for 10 years! It's super moist and chocolatey, and I also made this cake using 50% whole wheat flour and a ton of zucchini (to make up for the white chocolate cream cheese frosting!). It's also very easy to make, and it is a forgiving batter that is essentially foolproof, not to mention beautiful to serve once you frost it and sprinkle it with some pistachios!

WHERE TO BUY BAKING STRIPS:
HOW TO USE BAKING STRIPS:
Simply soak the strips in water for 15 minutes, remove excess water, wrap around your pans and bake according to a recipe. You may need to increase baking time when using the strips.
BAKING STRIPS DIY:
You will need paper towels and foil. Measure out how much paper you need to wrap around the pan. Wet the towels, then wring them out from excess water. Measure out foil that is about 2 inches longer than the paper length and width. Place the paper towel folded to a height of about two inches on the foil. Fold the foil around the towel, then attach to the side of the pan and pinch the edges together.
