Healthy Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Chocolate Custard Frosting

Chocolate cake that’s moist, rich, and indulgent — but with a wholesome twist? Yes, please. This healthier chocolate zucchini cake sneaks in a full cup of grated zucchini for added moisture and nutrients, while using Greek yogurt and coconut sugar to lighten up the sweetness. The result is a decadent, bakery-style cake that feels just as indulgent as the classic but with a nourishing spin.

The star topping is the homemade chocolate custard frosting. It’s velvety, luscious, and much lighter than traditional buttercream. Made with milk, dark chocolate, and just a touch of butter, it spreads beautifully over the cake for a glossy finish that looks as good as it tastes.
