Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 22x7x7cm loaf pan with butter. Dust with flour, then shake out any excess.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. While continuing to beat, drizzle in vegetable oil until fully incorporated. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla extract.

Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour milk, beginning and ending with the flour, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Stir in the grated zucchini and chocolate and press the mixture into the prepared pan. Place a zucchini slice lengthwise on top.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
