Chocolate Zucchini Cake

My mom made this cake when I was a kid and I probably haven't had it in about 30 years. But my garden is growing zucchini like crazy and I figured it was the perfect time to pull the recipe out and try it again.

I have to say it's even better than I remember it... :)

Cream together:
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cup sugar

Blend in:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk

Stir in:
2 1/2 cups flour
4 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Fold in:
2 cups grated zucchini

Pour in greased and sugared 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until pick comes clean.

Cool for 10 minutes. Remove from pan or cool on rack.
