great cake
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this in a stnd mixer and it was easy. The dough balls up when its done. I kept the skins on the zucchini and I added... a fudge glaze. I will definately make this again.Read more

Watch batter levels!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you will allow this cook who has been baking over a half-century...when your recipe has leavening agents (baking powder... and/or baking soda, salt), fill the pan half full or you will have a mess. If the batter is higher than that, use two smaller pans! I baked this cake this morning using a large bundt pan and it came out perfectly! It is a LARGE cake but wonderful! Always use the pan called for in the recipe and this recipe should have said a large bundt pan, as bundts come in all sizes now. I added 1/4 cup of baking cocoa, as the initial batter wasn't chocolate enough for my taste and I did use my KIitchen-Aid to mix in the grated zucchini and nuts, as I am not strong enough to mix such a heavy batter. It made no difference whatsoever!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought this was a very good cake. I made it for the moms at my son's 3rd birthday party and everyone loved it. My son... even loved it. I substituted half of the sugar with splenda and half of the oil with applesauce. Read more

this cake was just okay
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

too much sugar, not enough chocolate. could be more moist...i did add more zucchini than the recipe called for, which helped... some. I think I'd tweak the recipe some. It was easy to make, but if you're looking for rich, moist, and chocolaty, this is not it.Read more

Really Good Chocolate Cake
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was quite surprised at the flavor and texture of this delicious cake. My children and grandchildren loved it, and ate most... of it up in one day. I am making it again, but will try to reduce the sugar by 1/2 c. I thought it was a bit sweet. Wonderfully moist.Read more
