Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup (white) sugar
2 cups shredded zucchini
1/3 cup melted dark chocolate
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
FOR THE CHOCOLATE GLAZE:
Blend together- 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips & 1- 2 tsp cream
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease (with cooking spray) two loaf pans. Mix together (with a hand-held mixer) the oil, sugar, and eggs. Mix for about 5 minutes. Add the melted dark chocolate, vanilla extract, and zucchini and stir until combined. In a separate bowl blend the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and Garam Masala. Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture. Fold in the 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Pour the chocolate glaze over the cooled loaves and serve.
