This cake fast became a favorite of ours when I first made it. Now I make it as a standard when the zucchini in my garden gets picked.

This was the best chocolate zucchini cake I have made. I made it for a special Sunday dinner as a layer cake. I then decorated it as a sunflower using Peeps and chocolate chips. It was WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I tried the 11x15 pan as one reviewer noted they had done and I now have cake all over my oven! Cake was just ok....will probably not make it again. Now I have to go clean my oven! I'd suggest the three round cake pans as noted in the recipe or perhaps two smaller cake pans.

My family LOVED this! I used an 11 x 14 pan and baked it approx 50 minutes.
