Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a high-speed blender, combine all your ingredients and blend until a thick batter remains.
Regularly scrape down the sides to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the batter in the greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean from the center.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the chocolate zucchini cake has cooled, add the optional frosting and slice into pieces.
