Petunjuk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan.

Cream together butter, oil, and sugar about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

Combine dry ingredients and whisk together. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk and vanilla.

Add grated zucchini and gently mix with spatula just until combined. Overmixing will "wring" the water out of the zucchini making the batter runnier.

Spread the batter in a greased 9 x 13" pan.

Sprinkle brown sugar, walnuts, and chocolate chips over the top of cake. Do not stir.

Bake 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Be careful to not overbake the cake. To check for doneness stick a toothpick in the middle of the cake, it should come out clean, or with a few crumbs.
