I found this recipe in a cookbook and made some changes to it. My husband likes to have it for his birthday cake. We live with my husband's family on a 27,000-acre ranch in the mountains and raise cattle, grain and hay.

Excellent very moist, and light weight. I substitued the nuts with raisins and used a 9x13 pan [bake for 1 hour]. One recipe of frosting is more than enough to ice cake. Yummy

This is the most delicious zucchini cake EVER! So moist and flavorful that it tops my desert list.

Y.U.M. Made it just the way it is written (included pecans) except baked it in 2 10" round pans. Huge hit with everyone in the family.

i just made this cake the other day and my family loves it! i will definitely make it again. i did make some substitutions to it, though. i used a multigrain baking mix instead of flour (the same 2 1/2 cups) and instead of oil i used applesauce (the same 1 1/3 cups). i feel that this added a healthier touch, and still kept the cake moist and delicious! my toddler (not even quite two years old) loves it! i made a single layer cake, and with the rest of the batter i made muffins. i wish i could give this recipe more stars!

This is one of "the best" cakes I've made in a long time. This cake is very moist, and with the spices added, it reminded me of a homemade spice cake. I didn't add nuts in the cake batter, but rather topped the cake with a few chopped pecans. I also used 1 cup of whole wheat flour, and 1-1/2 cups of all-purose flour (instead of using the 2-1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour); plus I didn't make an entire 3-layer cake. Instead, I frosted 3-single layered cakes, topped each with chopped pecans, and gave 2 of the cakes to others, and kept for my husband and I. Needless to say the cake didn't last long in our house. Also, when I frosted the cake, I used 6 cups of the confectioners' sugar, as I thought the frosting wasn't the right consistency for me. I ended up with a bit more frosting, but stored the extra frosting in the refrigerator to use later. I wish I could rate this recipe with more stars, as this cake is sooo good. I look forward to making this cake again. Thanx for the recipe!

I simply love this cake. This is the third time I'm baking it. This time it's for my Birthday. The flavor is awesome,and it's so moist. Love, Love, Love. The first time I made it my husband said it was staying home. I planned on taking it to work for a pot luck, but it didn't get that far.

This came out great. I didn't even have the cloves,allspice, and ginger and didn't make the frosting and it STILL came out delicious. AND it's super easy and fast to make. Can't wait to make it again with ALL the ingredients.

This cake was light and moist. I hardly ever make cakes but I had a lot of carrots in the fridge so I tried it. Whew! What a lot of shredding - guess I need a food processor - but my family was impressed. One thing - I doubled the frosting because I suspected there wouldnt be enough to frost a 3 layer cake as it was and I'm glad I did. However, when we cut it, the layers ran together - anyone got a tip?
