- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp baking soda

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the grated zucchini.
