This cake is so good. I didn't have any semisweet chocolate, so I used cocoa powder. Used egg substitute and 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda. Forgot to sprinkle with powdered sugar, but it was wonderful without it.

Family loved this recipe. Kept cleaning their plates. Only change made was a substitute for buttermilk - made my own w/whole milk and lemon juice.

My husband and mother loved this. Mild chocolate flavor and very moist. Quite large too, so it lasted three of us a week.

Thought it would've been better using cocoa instead of melting the chocolate. Wasn't choclatey enough for me. Also a bit too moist.

I expected this to be a tasty dessert based on the ingredients, but it lacked flavor to me and definitely needed more chocolate. I don't understand so many great reviews when everone used (basically) the same ingredients. It makes me wonder if mine just didn't turn out right. Either that or my taste buds are just too accustomed to sweeter treats. I may have overcooked it a little so that would make some difference too.

Put in a little extra cocoa as someone else suggested. Cake turned out wonderful - lasted less than a day - so moist. I am now watching my zucchini plants to see when I can pick one to make again!

Guess I'm desperate for new zucchini recipes after getting a bumper crop this summer. The cake was okay but ended up throwing half of it away. Next time I'll add more chocolate (cake didn't have a lot of taste) and make 2 smaller cakes. Has anyone tried freezing the cake?
