SO yummy!
I’m very glad that I wrung the zucchini out within an inch of its life – I can see that this cake would have been mushy if I hadn’t.
I am also glad I put cream cheese frosting on it…I don’t think it would have been as good without frosting.

I made your cake recipe using half wheat and half white flour. It helped with the moistness of the zucchini. It just got out of the oven and I’m sure it will taste good! Thanks for the tips and recipe!
P.S. I loved that you included that anecdote about zucchini. No sooner had I brought home a HUGE zucchini, but my husband shared the same anecdote. 
Apparently, great minds think alike.

This cake was made today and will probably be gone by tomorrow – it’s sooo good! And it’s basically just veggies so no worries there.
I do think that some frosting (in my case: left-over “That’s the best frosting I ever had” with a little left-over mascarpone cheese mixed in) really adds a certain “extra” that brings the cake over the top.
It really is a great recipe! Easy to make, fudgey and spongey to touch, and very yummy to eat.
Thank you!

Gah! Sounds delicious. I’m on a total zucchini kick lately, I will be giving this a try soon.

Oh, YUM! My friend and I are going to make this and lindainmo’s Pinapple Zucchini Sheet Cake next week. Going to look for a chocolate cream cheese frosting for it, too. Will let you know how it turns out.

Wow this would be a great way for me to use some of my zucchini and a delicious way at that. It looks so moist in the pictures and the sliced strawberry really catches my eye. Great Job!

Made this cake tonight. Over all it’s very good, good chocolate flavor, light and moist. It did not have a fudgy flavor or texture that the name implies.
I made no modifications except to use various types of summer squash and to use half the amount of chocolate chips since that’s all I had.
Would make again.

Manda, it turned out absolutely delicious! We just finished it off last night. It lasted a whole week and was good to the last crum. I know because I ate the last crum.

Made this cake two nights ago and was happy with the flavour! I didn’t have a 9×13 pan handy so I used a bundt pan which didn’t create the prettiest of presentations since half of the cake remained in the pan! But overall, still a great tasting recipe and will make again – in the proper pan

When the zucchini ‘get away from me’ and grow to thigh-size, I grate them and bake breads. My breads are good, but I make A LOT of them, and we tire of them. And then I found THIS recipe. We ate the first cake in one night. It was gone in one night (sad, I know.) Made it again last night, and had to cut them off at one piece to avoid embarrassing myself on this site! Great texture, great chocolate flavor, and moist! Bonus: my son thinks I have SuperPowers because I can grate zucchini and make chocolate cake with it. Yeah, Baby!!

Very good. The kids liked it especially. We didn’t frost it.

I forgot to say that I substituted 1/2 cup applesauce for 1/2 cup oil and it was moist and delicious.
