Contributed by Nancy Williams

* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1/2 cup canola oil
* 3 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1/2 cup buttermilk
* 2 1/2 cups flour
* 1/2 teaspoon allspice
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoon baking soda
* 4 tablespoons cocoa
* 3 zucchini, approximately 6 inches long, grated (or the equivalent—about 2+ cups grated)
* 1 cup chocolate chips (try mint flavored!)

Cream sugars, butter and oil together in a large bowl. Add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk and stir well to mix. Measure dry ingredients into a sifter, then sift into the bowl. Add grated zucchini and stir until blended. Pour into a greased and floured 9x13-inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes.
