Heat over to 325D.
Sift together flour, cocoa, soda and salt; set aside. Cream butter, oil and sugar together. Add eggs and beat well. Mix in zucchini. Add vanilla, nuts and chocolate chips.
Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing after each addition. Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan. Top with extra chocolate chips and nuts.
