Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease an 8" by 5" loaf pan well with coconut oil and sift cocoa powder over the bottom and up the sides.
Line the pan with unbleached parchment paper.
Grate zucchini and press in a cloth to remove moisture.
Melt coconut oil in a small pan to liquify.
Pour coconut oil to a medium bowl with eggs, egg whites, vanilla, stevia, and erythritol. Beat for 2-3 minutes or until sweetener is dissolved.
Chop chocolate and add to pan you used for coconut oil. Melt over lowest heat. Scrape melted chocolate into batter and beat well.
Whisk dry ingredients together and stir into batter, mixing well. Fold in grated zucchini.
Pour into pan and transfer to oven.
Bake for 1 hour, or until the top springs back to the touch.
Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Invert onto a plate and let completely cool.
Slice and serve.
