This is more of a chocolate zucchini bread rather than cake. It is not as sweet as I would expect from a cake. The texture is nice and the taste is pretty good-- though I like unchocolate zucchini bread better! The chocolate and zucchini is kind of a strange combination I think. I used maple syrup in place of sugar, shortening in place of butter, and rice milk in place of milk. I omitted orange peel and walnuts.
