    Absoutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing. So easy to make and comes out perfect every time with no modifications to the recipe.

    This cake is very simple to make, is delicious and the recipe is reliable. It looks very wet when mixed. I used home grown, very moist zucchinis which may have contributed to the texture, however if cooked in a moderate oven for 56 minutes, it comes out perfect. I have made this several times now and taken it to school for my hungry colleagues. They devour it!

    I half the portion and make them into mini cupcakes. I add some chocolate chips and they are like lava cake fresh out of the oven. People say it's so fluffy & moist. This recipe is a keeper!

    This is my ‘go to’ chocolate cake. Today I halved the sugar, used wholemeal flour, included a small banana and threw in some some choc chips. 25 muffins. We’re having teenagers visit today. 😁

    I loved this cake! No one would ever know it contained zucchini. I made the recipe as stated, but added 100g of dark chocolate chips and a ganash topping. Beautiful! And freezes well. Thank you for sharing.
