I baked it as instructed. It was OK, but disappointing. My family of 8 chocolate lovers left three-fourths of it on the cake plate to go bad!

This was exceptionally moist and choclately. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour. I didn't tell anyone there was zucchini in it as I didn't think they would eat it. I made this for my daughters birthday cake and everyone had big slices. There is none left.

Excellent. I made it without the cocoa and it turned out great. The walnuts make it taste like a carrot cake, so might try the recipe without walnuts in the future.

I like zucchini bread, but I thought this was terrible. It overflowed my bundt pan while baking, then broke while I was taking out of the pan. I won't make it again.

This is the best way I have found to get rid of zucchini! I grated the zucchini with the small side of the grater - hard to tell its in there now. Also, I split into 2 bread pans and cooked for 45min at 350F due to lack of a bundt cake pan. The glaze is a glaze, not icing, so its OK if its thin. Spoon it on and let it soak in a bit.

This is the best zucchini cake I have ever had. I used 1/2 the sugar, added 1 cup of coconut. I meant to add some orange extract to the cake but forgot so I added it to the chocolate ganache I poured over this wonderful cake. Will make this again!! *Update* I had no butter so I used all applesauce and made sure I added orange extract in the cake and the icing!

Wow! Awesome use of zucchni! The hint of cinnamon really adds a yummy touch to this cake. I didn't have orange juice so I iced it with chocolate icing which was heavenly and if you really want to make it decadent, add 1 cup of chocolate chips. I didn't have a Bundt pan but it worked nicely in a 9x13.

This is a great recipe. For a stronger orange flavor I would suggest using orange extract. It has more flavor than juice or orange rind.

Extremely moist cake, and super easy to make. I grated the zucchini very finely (as I don't like chuncks of vegetable in my desserts!) and I did press a good deal of the water out of the zucchini before folding it in to the batter (as some other comments mentioned that the recipe turned out really gooey) and it turned out wonderfully moist and soft, not gooey at all. I will totally make this cake again; I'd also like to try it as a loaf for breakfast, with more nuts and some dried fruit, too.

I made this cake today and it turned out very, very moist, almost to the point of being gooey.If I were to make this again, I would decrease the amount of zucchini to two cups.Also I left out the orange zest and doubled the amount of cinnamon, as we love that stuff!! The cooking time was about fifeteen minutes longer in my oven, than what the recipe stated. When cooled ,I put chocolate icing with cinnamon in it. It is a tasty cake and a good use of your garden zucchini. It is just a little too gooey for us.

I forgot the cocoa and had a Zucchini Orange Cake and it was fantastic. It was very popular at a potluck dinner--moist and flavorful. Will make it again.

If you have never made a zucchini cake (as I hadn't before this one), you must first know that these things have a different flavor/texture. I know most people probably like it, but the little chunks grossed me out. I should have just tried a chocolate orange cake recipe and forgotten about the zucchini. So I am sure this recipe turned out exactly like it should have. But I won't be making it again.

So far everyone that has tried this agrees that it is wonderful!! I've made this recipe twice - the first time I followed the directions fairly closely - I used chocolate & lemon flavoring (would have used orange if I had it) instead of the vanilla and I added a bit more orange zest. The second time my zucchini was a bit drier, so I added 1/4 orange juice and 1/4 chocolate sauce - mmmmm! Even better!

Delicious cake! The cake also freezes very well! I had some sour cream and yogurt that needed to be used, so I substituted 1/4 cup of sour cream/ yogurt for some of the milk...I made a chocolate frosting for the cake using cream, icing sugar and melted bittersweet chocolate and a tsp of vanilla! Wonderful recipe! I will make it again as soon as more zucchini are harvested!

This is an extremely moist chocolate cake. No one would ever suspect there is zucchini in it. It is by far the best chocolate zucchini cake recipe that I've ever tried. I would like there to be a little more orange flavor so the next time I'll add 1/2 cup of OJ instead of 1/2 cup of milk.

Next time I may try kicking up the orange flavor a hint like some other reviewers suggested, although I could taste the hint of orange when I made the recipe as is. Very moist, tasty, and unique recipe!

Very good, moist and dense. Could not really taste orange flavor except for the icing. Could be more chocolaty. Next time, I will use baking chocolate instead of cocoa. Definitely a keeper!
