This is the best chocolate zucchini recipe I have used. This will be the only one I will ever use again, Thank You so much for sharing this recipe. (I didn't change a thing). Both of my girls loved this: they keep running out to the garden in hopes to find more zucchinis so I can make more. This cake also freezes wonderfully. I made two cakes sliced one of the cakes into indivual servings and then flashed freezed the cake on waxed paper. I bagged the cake slices and take out what I need in the morning....always taste great.

Fantastic and moist cake. I subbed apple sauce for the oil to cut down on the fat and it tasted wonderful. I also used a bit less sugar, about 1 1/4 cups. I did use a lot of chocolate chips on the top though! Baked it in a 9 x 13 pan. The smell while this was baking was so chocolatly, it was divine! Thanks for the great recipe.
