   and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Set aside.
   
   In a separate bowl, cream the butter, vegetable oil

   fluffy.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Next, add
   the vanilla and chile powder.  Mix in the dry
   ingredients that have been set aside, alternating with
   the buttermilk.  Stir in the zucchini.
   
   Pour the batter into the prepared pan.  Sprinkle the
   top of the cake with the chocolate chips and walnuts.
   
   Bake for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick in
   center comes out clean. Cool cake in the pan on a wire
   rack.
