This is a wonderfully not too sweet cake! I didn't put the pecans on top of it, but added toffee bits and it was excellent! Everyone loved it. I'm always asked for the recipe, so a definite winner in my book!

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!
