5 stars for the following: Appearance, Easiness of recipe, Flavor, Instructions, etc. Everything about this recipe was a 5 star. This was the best Zuchini Bread I've had! I wouldn't change a thing. I did take a photo to add to this recipe. Will post it in a second.

OMG! I had been looking for a chocolate-zucchini bread/cake that really rocked and this was the first one I tried. I just made it for the second time, increasing the amount of egg and using all light-brown sugar. I forgot to squeeze the zucchini but it still came out perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
