Zucchini Cake

This monster looks gross as a whole, I know, but don't judge the book by its cover, alright? This tastes so good! It's moist, it's sweet and sour at the same time. I just love it. And it's got chocolate in it, so... 

You'll need:
batter
  • 130g dark chocolate
  • 3 eggs
  • 80ml sour cream
  • 110ml sunflower oil
  • a pinch of salt
  • 300g flour
  • 2 tea spoons baking soda
  • 40g cocoa powder
  •  110g butter
  • 200g sugar
  • 1 big shredded zucchini
topping
  • 300g ricotta
  • 50g sugar
  • a handful of raspberries
  • extra: rasbrerry jam 
1) Melt the chocolate.
2) Mix all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl mix the sugar with soft butter so that it looks lighter, the start adding the eggs and later the chocolate (it must be out of the heat some time, you don't wanna cook the eggs). Then add the dry ingredients and lastly add the zucchini.
3) Bake at 180°C about 40 minutes (it helps if you put the batter into two baking pans).
4) Mix the ingredients for the topping - you can crush the raspberries a little since you want to get it a nice pink tint. 
5) Assembly the cake - a cake layer, raspberry jam, another cake layer, topping. Or anyway you like it, really ;-)=
