Notes

2-4 tablespoons of any 1:1 sugar equivalent low carb sweetener can be used in place of the concentrated stevia powder.
Don't drain the zucchini. Unlike other zucchini recipes, you shouldn't drain the shredded zucchini for this ake very much, if at all. You want the cake to be moist.
If you’re looking for an extra chocolatey cake with just the right amount of decadent fudgy goodness, you’re going to want to include those optional chocolate chips!
Each serving contains about 1g erythritol
