Here's a mouthwatering dessert that is so rich, it doesn't need frosting. The shredded zucchini makes it especially moist. With a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this cake makes an unbeatable finale for any occasion.—Mared Metzger Beling, Eagle River, Alaska

SO yummy! I substituted the oil with natural applesauce & decreased the sugar to 1 1/2 c. It was very moist! I added chopped pecans & coconut to the chocolate chips on top.

Was a huge hit with my children and offered an alternative use for all the zucchini from our garden. One of the moistest cakes I've ever had!

I make this a few times every year during zucchini season. It always gets compliments and recipe requests.
