Ingredients for Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread Recipe :

All Purpose Flour / Maida :

Maida requires more oil or butter when baking or cooking because it is lighter and rises faster, which is why bakers prefer maida to atta. All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of
hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.

Cocoa Powder :
Cocoa powder is primarily used as a flavouring agent in baked goods such as cookies, ice cream, dairy drinks, and cakes. Aside from flavouring, it is also used in the production of coatings for confectioners or frozen desserts. Cocoa powder is also used in the beverage industry, for example, to make chocolate milk.

Zucchini :
Zucchini has a mild flavour that is slightly sweet and slightly bitter, and it has a rich texture. When zucchini is cooked, its sweetness becomes more apparent. Although zucchini is tender to bite into even raw, cooking softens it.
