Finished the first night everyone loved. The kids all asked for more. Didn't need icing at all. Very moist.

I've tried other recipes for chocolate zucchini cake and this is the best one I've found! So yummy when still a little warm and served with a big glass of cold milk! I followed the recipe just as written, except I didn't measure out the walnuts and the chocolate chips. I broke up the walnuts by hand instead of grinding because I like chunks of walnuts, and I just covered the top with what I thought looked good of both....and it was perfect!! Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!!

Yum. We made it for my mom's b-day. She declared it her new favorite cake. We substituted applesauce for the vegetable oil, sour cream instead of sour milk, and chopped walnuts instead of ground walnuts.

very tasty and moist, however it has a LOT of sugar. I know you can often substitute fruit puree for eggs/oil and would love to know if using the zucchini to replace these would work. If I'm going to put zucchini in a cake, I would love if it could be more healthy (as well as tasty)

I substituted applesauce for oil. Nutmeg for cloves. Sour cream for sour milk. Put 1/2 cup of choc chips in the batter and sprinkled 1/2 cup on top. No walnuts. Frosted w/Duncan Hines Milk Chocolate frosting. AWESOME!!

This is REALLY good. So moist and not a trace of zucchini in it when you eat it. You're sure fool the kids, or anyone who doesn't like their veggies, when you serve this cake. I would add extra chips, though. Needs more chocolate!

I was very pleased with this cake! The flavor was rich with the hit of cloves, and it was very moist, needing no embellishment besides the chocolate chips scattered over the top. I omitted the nuts, used buttermilk, used all egg whites for this, also a full tsp. cinnamon and baked it for about 36 minutes in my convection oven. It can be dressed up by sprinkling a little 10x sugar [confectioners' sugar] on top after it cools. I used coconut oil for the vegetable oil...with awesome results. Note that this cake does not rise much - it is more of a "snack-cake" height. Very good and recommended for families with kids.

This was incredible! I made a chocolate cream cheese frosting (but you don't need it) and took it to work. Didn't tell anyone what was in it and it was gone in 2 hours. Then they couldn't believe zucchini was in it!

Very good! Just the recipe I was looking for. I used applesauce instead of oil and it turned out just so much more moist and yummy! I also added an extra cup of zucchini because I LOVE zucchini!

I'd give this about 4.5 stars. It was lovely and moist, just the way you'd expect a zucchini bread or cake to be. The spice taste combined with the chocolate was a little odd, but in a good way. The only thing I might do differently next time is add more chocolate elements to this, so that the chocolate taste can hold its own against the spice. It's an unusual, refreshing recipe - thank you for sharing!

This is wonderful. I made it because I needed a dessert for a large group of adult students. I got many compliments and several requests for the recipe. I made it exactly as stated except I omitted nuts due to allergies in the group. It is light, chocolaty with a delicious spice taste. I would categorize it as "Grandma cake." The kind of down home dessert you would expect to have at your grandma's house.

Very moist and delicious! No one would ever guess there was zucchini in the cake! The only change was to decrease the sugar a bit, which I generally tend to do with recipes. I didn't have sour milk so I used the milk and lemon juice solution as suggested.

A great base recipe. I did change it but we LOVED the changes: I peeled the zucchini, Increased cocoa to 6 tbsp, did not add the spices, increased the sugar to 2 cups. Spread 1 cup of choc chips on top and then when cake was cool frosted with a white icing. Perfect choc cake.

Almost identical to my mom's recipe which I have been craving for at least two years. Instead of sour milk I used sour cream and for the topping I mixed 1/4 c. brown sugar and the chocolate chips and sprinkled on top prior to baking. Fantastic! *I do think that the cloves are a little strong so I may cut the amount in half when I remake it tomorrow :)
