A rich chocolaty dessert. The cream cheese filling is a nice surprise. Good with cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg

Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter, oil, and 1 1/4 sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then stir in the zucchini. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Pour half of the batter into prepared pan.
Step 3
Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 2 tablespoons butter. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch; beat into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. Beat in 1 egg, milk and vanilla. Pour over batter in pan, distributing evenly. Pour remaining batter over filing.
