Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter bottom and sides of a 9-inch square cake pan. Dust the pan with sprouted flour, tapping out the excess.
- Toss ½ cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon sprouted flour in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Beat the sugar, ½ cup olive oil, the eggs and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and pale, about 3 minutes. Add the flour-cocoa mixture and beat on low speed until combined (the batter will be thick). Add the zucchini and combine well. Fold in the flour-coated chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon olive oil and the honey in a small saucepan. Heat just until the chocolate is melted. Stir and spread over the cake, then cut into pieces.
