  1. Delicious! A great way to use up zucchini and so easy to make. This cake won't last long at our house. Made for PRMR, April, 2014.
     
  2. Great cake, and easy. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8-inch pan. Baking time was only 40 minutes for me. Instead of walnuts, I used pecan halves, which went great with the chocolate. Thanks for this keeper.
     
  3. Made your recipe pretty much as given, although I did up the amount of chocolate chip to about 9 ounces ~ That's what comes from loving chocolate! Anyway, the cake was wonderfully delicious & one I'll make again, I know! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
     
  4. I debated on how to rate this recipe because the directions didn't say when to add the zucchini. I greased and floured the baking pan even though the directions didn't mention this. I was ready to pour the batter when I noticed my zucchini was still on the counter. I stirred it in at the last minute. The cake was done at about 45-50 minutes. I'm giving it 5 stars because the flavor was terrific! I really enjoyed this recipe. Good luck in the contest.
