    I don't bake that often so when I came across this simple recipe I decided to try it. I used the previous recommendation to cut down on the oil, so instead of 2 cups I used 1 3/4 plus I used 2 large tbs of vanilla extract because I like a little bit of extra sweetness. I must say this cake came out moist and absolutely delicious. Would definitely make it again!

    The cake is very good and moist, but a little oily. I would use less oil next time. It taste like zucchini bread that I have made in the past. Family and friends really liked it.

    terrific!July 23, 2009 By SK9
    i made this with the zucchini i found after being gone from my garden too long. they were HUGE! anyway, i made this and substituted one of the cups of sugar for brown sugar. and i made them into cupcakes. i baked at 350 for 15-18 minutes. they dont rise as much as regular cake so go ahead and fill to about 1/2 inch below cup.

    This zucchini cake is moist and delicious! Easy to make and best of all, ""safe"" for my daughter to eat! She is allergic to milk/dairy products, and this recipe is perfect. She loves the cake and we eat it for breakfast!

    I will make this cake again, even the kids loved it. Only one change for next time, it definitely needed a good pinch of salt. Other than that it was great.

    I live in Barcelona....February 18, 2008 By BocaBadada
    I am Catalan and I live in Barcelona, I love to try new things, and tastes. I brought the Zucchinni cake to the office for my birthday. Everybody loved it.!!, I only told the zucchinni ingredient after they had tasted it, and said they loved it!..... I made minor changes. I put grated lemmon skin instead of cinnamon, and dry fruits with sultanas. Thanks very much Anna

    UMM UMM GOOD!October 03, 2007 By JERISE
    I took this cake to an office potluck today and received many requests for the recipe. I iced it with cream cheese frosting and put in the walnuts. I have one friend that is allergic to walnuts so I made her a ""mini"" cake.

    moist and easyAugust 21, 2007 By pooches81
    It is extremely moist and I used half the oil substituting water. My husband likes the center more, he says very tasty. It is very easy to do, not real fluffy. will try with chocolate chips next time as well as applesauce in place of the water.
