Using a food processor to shred zucchini, I bake up this lightly sweet cake often. There's just the right amount of chocolate in every bite.—Leon Kingsley, Marshfield, Massachusetts

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup canola oil
1-3/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups shredded peeled zucchini
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
