FABULOUS recipe. I will hang onto this one! Loved the undetectable, moist addition of the zucchini; the subtle rum flavor; the chocolate... I added a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the glaze to make it an all-chocolate cake, and I included 1/2 cup of rum in the batter. Other than that, no changes necessary. :)

Really, really good! This cake came out very moist. Nobody would believe there was zucchini in it. This could be a new favorite of mine!

I made this for a big family gathering yesterday and never told them it had zucchini until after they ate it. Everyone was so suprised. They loved the cake.

Moist, but not too moist. Perfect chocolate flavour. Added additional 3/4 cup of flour and used 1/2 cup of rum for high altitude baking. Cake is tastier the following day. Thank you for recipe!

We all loved this. I also used 1/2 cup rum in the batter, but only 1 tbsp and the rest water in the icing. The whole thing was eaten including the crumbs. It is a very rich and dense cake. Delicious!

We all loved this. I used 1/2 c rum in the cake because of the other reviews that said you could not taste it with the 1/3. We enjoyed it. I thought the glaze was going to be too strong when I first made it but it mellowed nicely overnight.

Followed recipe exactly. Cake was raw in the middle. I had to keep putting it back in the oven for about 30 minutes extra...total of 1.5 hrs. What a mess.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out a little on the dry side. However, it was very yummy and everyone loved the extra chocolate the chips added. I served it warm with ice cream to cover up the dryness. It was a big hit!
