Personally I didn't find this to be enjoyable at all. It lacks flavor and is very dull. Read More

Great recipe!! Skipped out on the nuts used buttermilk instead of the sour milk. ALso baked in 2 9x5 loaf pans. Tip: Grease pan(s) with butter/ shortening and then dust with cinnimon and sugar. Gives the crust a nice sweet flavor!! Read More

great recipe. I mixed the chocolate chips and nuts into the batter with the zucchini also i am not a big fan of cloves so i only used about 1/4 tsp and I baked it in a bunt pan at 350 for 45 min. this is a very moist cake and the flavor is excellent not to sweet just right. Read More

I cannot stop eating this. I have it straight from the freezer at least once a day. Did not have nuts so I used all chocolate chips. Used applesauce instead of oil and can't imagine it being more moist than it is. I did add a rum glaze - 1 TBSP rum 1 cup powdered sugar 1-2 TBSP milk to desired consistency. Read More

Mmmm this is great! I could hardly wait for it to finish baking before I had a piece. Love the chocolate chips and walnuts on the top. The only change I made was to substitute apple sauce for half of the butter and use a little less sugar. Love it! Great flavor and very moist. Read More

You think you'll see it taste it smell it feel it -- BUT YOU WON'T!! The zucchini disappears - and a warm moist delicious chocolate cake is left! Amazing! I didn't have any cloves - loved it anyway! (used a LOT more chips and substituted pecans for walnuts). Read More

My family adored this cake. I didn't have chocolate chips nuts or cloves in the house so I frosted with my own cream cheese frosting. Teenage sons couldn't believe there was vegetables in it. It is a heavier bread-like cake but that is what I love. The cinnamon adds a great touch I also baked at 350 which is what I bake all my cakes at. Excellent!! Read More
