Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini cake pan.

3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork. Stir in the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the raspberry frosting on top of each cake.
11. Serve and enjoy!
