Excellent version of a recipe I'd tried in the past. I took this to a picnic in slices from a bundt pan and it was gone within minutes!!! Extremely moist and the zucchini was well hidden from the watchful eye of my kids!!!

This recipe is really good. My husband does not eat zucchini at all and I told him it was a "Chocolate Cake". He finished it is 2 days!!!! I shredded the zucchini, mixed the chocolate chips in and it did take 60 minutes to cook. I will definately be making this cake again - another way to get veggies into my husband!!!!

I added chopped walnuts and doubled the cocoa. Perfect! Exept it took 60 minutes before the toothpick came out clean, but I think it's because I used one of those metal insulated pans. I will definitely use this recipe again!

This is the first cake I've made "from scratch" in years... A neighbor gave me some zuchini, as he had last year. I was unsure what to do with it, since I've got picky eaters. Last year, I'd made zuchini bread, which was awesome, but only DH and I ate it. Decided to try this recipe, and it was a huge hit! I sort of shredded the zuchini in my Magic Bullet, so nobody would see it. Also, I used baker's chocolate instead of chocolate chips, stirring them in rather than sprinkling on top. Lastly, I mixed up a chocolate powdered sugar glaze to drizzle on top. We'll make this again and again!

I can't believe it--I ahve been using this recipe for years but couldn't find it and HERE IT IS!! THE BEST chocolate cake EVER-mine is only slighlty different --I also add 1/4 tsp cloves and zest of half an orange (I usually make two cakes at a time). You don't need to look further for any chocolate cake.

Bf told me his grandmother used to make a chocolate zucchini cake. I showed him the recipe search results and he picked this one. I finally made it today and he LOVES it. He's already eaten 3 huge pieces. I was lazy and chopped the zucchini in the food processor. I'm a bit weird about cakes: I don't like sheet cakes unless they are decorated, so I opted for using a bundt pan. Either it's my oven, the fact that I used a bundt pan, or there was too much zucchini (any of those are possible!), but I had to bake an extra fifteen minutes. Bc I used a bundt pan, I layered the chocolate chips instead of putting them all on top. Worked out well. Thanks for the recipe!

My kids LOVE this cake, especially for their birthdays! I found a low-fat version where you swap out the butter for low-fat mayo and use canola oil instead of vegatable. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup semisweet chips & 2 tbls. finley chopped pecans, then bake. Awesome!

This was absolutely delicious. You could see the zucchini, but it didn't bother us. I didn't know what sour milk was, so in case someone else is wondering too, you just mix 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar with enough milk to make the 1/2 cup and let it sit for 5 min.

My mom recommended this recipe. We shredded the zucchini. We also added slivered almonds on top along with the chocolate chips. The recipe is a fast easy keeper! I brought it in to work and ended up forwarding the recipe to a couple people.

I really thought this cake was exceptionally good. Nice and moist, but not wet. I also really liked just putting the chocolate chips on top so no need for frosting! It's ready to eat straight out of the oven!I have made this twice already with my garden zucchini and this recipe will be added to my keepers.

This cake was so moist and yummy. My family really liked it. I substitued 1/2 of the butter and 1/2 of the oil with applesauce and added the chocolate chips into the batter. I also frosted mine with chocolate frosting. It was a hit!

We all loved it. I had to substitute unsweetened baking chocolate (2 blocks)because I didn't have the unsw.cocoa powder. I kind of guessed at how much to use and it gave a very nice chocolate flavor. I melted it in the oil and then completed the recipe as follows. I also stirred in some chocolate chips as well as putting them on top. I will definitely make it again!

If you could see the look on my husband's face when he tried this, you would know why I gave it 5 stars! Very, very good. I threw in a little extra zucchini and I would probably blend in the chips next time but it's a chocolate lovers dream plus the bonus of veggies (which you would never know were there)! YUMMMMM!!!

Great recipe! Turns out very moist but crumbly. I used crushed chocolate squares instead of chocolate chips and baked it in 2 loaf pans as another user has suggested - good idea.

This is really an excellent recipe. The only change I made was replacing the butter with apple sauce and also grating the zucchini. Thanks so much for this recipe.

This is my new favorite chocolate cake recipe. Makes great cupcakes if you don't bake them as long. I used only a cup of sugar and it was plenty sweet for us. I grated the Zucchini and used half whole wheat.
