I've made this for years and wow my family and guests with a perfect chocolate cake every time!

"Made this tonight, have lots of zucchini from my garden. This is excellent! BEST zucchini recipe, and believe me I have made several. The batter is VERY thick, I added approx 1Tbs of milk. Also total of 3 Tbs of vanilla, 1 extra tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 tbs of nutmeg, 1/2 c. choc chips. Topped with cream cheese frosting. It would of been perfect if I stuck to the original recipe but I wanted to try to make it "my own" And total cooking time was 30 mins for me. Thank you for sharing!" - jenabarnettprosser

    This was alright for not having any eggs in it. It really seemed more like a cakey brownie than a true cake, I frosted it with a chocolate frosting I made with milk, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder - but I tried it with and without the frosting, warm and cooled. When it was warm it was a little too gooey, but had a better taste to it. I disagree with people who said to use LESS sugar. I used MORE than the recipe called for and it still barely seemed like enough. Was well cooked in my oven in 35 minutes. husband liked it. I grated the zucchini to a medium thickness. I was worried because I didn't use the finest holes on my grater. I'd read in the comments a lady said to grate them to the size of shredded cheese... but shredded cheese comes in a finer and a thicker size so I wasn't sure, was kinda worried. I did it the size of thicker shredded bagged cheese... and it was fine. No weird texture issues, nor can you even see the Zukes in the cake. I might make this again, if I had no eggs, but I'd probably just look for another eggless recipe to try something new... this wasn't something ill be adding to my repertoire!

    I substituted prune baby food for all but 2TBS 0f oil. Also used Half Splenda & half regular sugar. So moist & delicious! Do not be alarmed by thick batter. It bakes up light & cake-like.

    I made it last night for my family to try… it was awesome!! Everyone ate it and said, they would eat it again. Very quick and easy. Even the kids, who don’t eat Zucchini, loved it!!!! The cake was really good even before I put icing… you can make it and not even put the icing. VERY TASTEY, MOIST, AND DELICIOUS!!!!
    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! We are trying to cook healthier... I loved this receipe. I used olive oil, Splenda Blend, and unsweetened cocoa... it was amazing!!!

    Fantastic taste I love that my kids were eating zucchini and didn't know it.

    Made this today, and it came out wonderful! One thing i did different was add a little peanutbutter to the chocolate frosting to cut the sweetness.

    Can this recipe be made without zucchini?
    9 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 10 hours, 27 minutes ago
    Just made this with fresh zuchini the triplets & i picked this morning from our garden!! It was FANTASTIC!!! So moist, light, & fluffy like a cake with a devilish brownie flavor! The kids were begging to go pick more 'zoo-keys' as they call them! This recipe will be the only chocolate cake i make from now on! & Grandma can enjoy it with us too cause she's allergic to eggs! AMAZING!!
