Chocolate Zucchini Bread*

1 1/2 cup (about 1/2 pound) fresh grated zucchini
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 4 loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl sift together the four, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
3. In a bown of an electric mixture fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla together until well combined. Add the dry ingredients in two additions, mixing between each until the batter is just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let the bread rest for about 10 minutes in the pan, then turn it out and cool completely on a cooling rack.
