Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated zucchini, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
