Method
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, and olive oil until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated zucchini, chopped chocolate, gochujang, and hot sauce until evenly distributed.

Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzled with extra hot sauce or gochujang if desired.
