I just thought this was okay. First up, i wrung out my zucchini, lots of excess moisture. However, my cake was extremely dry and I baked it for only 42 minutes. Recipe did not say to wring or not to wring the zucchini. Next time maybe I will not wring it out. The cake definitely had a much better taste the next day; i made this for my husband’s birthday and first bite i distinctly noticed the nutmeg and cinnamon and did not like the taste. HOWEVER, the next day when i sampled it again, the flavors had melded and tasted much better, still dry though. The frosting had a good taste, but it was much too thick for my personal taste; I should have thinned it out some. I am going to try a few other recipes, but will keep this around and try again.

Tracy, I’m going to try this cake next week. But I wondered – have you ever made it as a layer cake? Is there enough batter to go with two 8″ pans? Just wondering…

I forgot to mention in my earlier review that I used one cup of whole wheat flour in place of one cup of the all-purpose flour (anything to sneak a little extra nutrition into my kids’ diets!). It turned out fantastically well! The cake is gone and the kids have asked me to bake another one. They have no idea there’s zucchini in it.

This cake is AWESOME. I slid it right past my husband and kids and they never even knew there was zucchini in it. It’s a very rich and moist cake, and the chocolate cream cheese frosting really makes it special. This recipe is a keeper and a great way to burn through extra zucchini!

Yum! I loved the homemade cream cheese frosting. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Much better than the one I had and lost.

I made this the other evening, and it was very good! Served it to a crowd that included children. Several asked about the little bits of green they found, but all enjoyed it with frozen yogurt on top. The cake got a bit dry for me, so next time I’ll bake it 35 min instead of 40.

hippiemama, I’ve never tried it before with frozen zucchini, but I can’t imagine it would be too different. I’d say strain it if it seems like there is excess water, otherwise leave it. Enjoy!
