Nurodymai

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch-square cake pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out the excess.

Toss 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour in a small bowl. Whisk the remaining flour, the cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside.

Beat the sugar, 1/2 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; beat on low speed until combined, about 2 minutes (the batter will be thick).

Add the zucchini and beat until combined, about 2 more minutes. 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 to 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 microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted.

Spread over the cake, and then cut into pieces.
