I've made this cake several times this year alone. Wonderful way to use up zucchini. I've taken it to work and everyone who has sampled it has loved it too. Marvelously moist cake.

My husband said the best cake he's ever had! I used part chocolate chunks and part chocolate chip minis. I liked the combination.

My favorite chocolate cake! Everyone always asks for this recipe. I lightened it further by replacing the 1/2 cup canola oil with an addition 1/4 cup of apple sauce and 1/4 cup canola oil. So light and tasty!

I am disappointed that Have Your Cake & Lose Weight too rated this recipe only one star on August 22, 2010, when the author clearly stated the recipe is "lighter than most chocolate cakes." Cake by definition is not a healthy food compared to fruit and veggies. But this is a better choice than most. I made it today and substituted white whole wheat flour, used half Splenda for the sweetener. It was delicious - a real keeper.

This is not healthy. It is loaded with white sugar and white flour. I can not believe most people would really serve this 9x13 pan to 18 people. It contains 286 calories and has 42 gms of carbohydrates per tiny piece. It is not a healthy recipe just because it contains zucchini.
