Amazing is an understatement! I always change a recipe a bit! I only had one zucchini, which was about 2 cups, so I added shredded apple to make up the difference. I cut the oil to 1/2 cup and subbed applesauce for the other 1/2 c. I used 2 cups regular and 1 cup whole wheat flour, and cut the sugar to 3/4 cup (which was PLENTY sweet) I totally forgot the salt! It seemed a bit dry to me as I was mixing (maybe because I subbed applesauce for the oil?) so I had to add a few splashes of soy milk. I did add about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and baked it in a rectangular glass pan for 30 minutes.... oh and no way we could wait 30 min for it to cool before testing... :)

It turned out incredibly delicious, beautiful and easy to unmold, slice and serve. I had to bake it for 75 minutes and it was very moist and had a crisp golden crusty top. My substitutions were as follows: 1 1/2 c each of white and whole wheat flour, 1/2 c. sunflower oil and 1/2 c. Applesauce. I used 3 c. of packed shredded golden zucchini and added raisins and walnuts plus a dash of nutmeg. I used the given amount of sugar and it was quite sweet. I will use less next time. I did not frost it. I think this would taste great with fresh blueberries added.
