    Submitted by lucilegge on 21. March 2022 - 08:51.

    This cake is very simple to make, is delicious and the recipe is reliable. It looks very wet when mixed. I used home grown, very moist zucchinis which may have contributed to the texture, however if cooked in a moderate oven for 56 minutes, it comes out perfect. I have made this several times now and taken it to school for my hungry colleagues. They devour it!

    I made this with 180 grams of brown sugar because I like to taste the chocolate as well as one beetroot as I only had about 380gms of zucchini - absolutely beautiful and light and the beetroot added a slight red glow to it.

    I cooked this cake in a tupperware stacker cooker in the microwave,place lid of stack cooker upside-down in microwave, line base container with paper towels(no need to grease dish) place greased bundt cone in middle, place cake ontop of upturned lid, cook in microwave 700 watt for 14 min, let cool slightly before turning out onto plate, then pull off paper towel, makes for easy cleanup of dish. Note you could use any microwave bundt dish.

    Submitted by thermanatrix on 5. February 2016 - 12:09.

    I made these last weekend and they turned out a lovely light fluffy but moist texture.  I used Coconut Oil instead of butter, GF Flour (and a little white spelt), Cacao instead of Cocoa and Rapadura Sugar instead of Brown Sugar.  Next time I will try using Coconut Milk instead of regular milk and Rice Malt Syrup instead of sugar.  They weren't overly sweet, and looked good in muffin papers.  My sons thought that I had bought them they looked so good!

    This is an awesome recipe the muffins turned out so moist.  I upped the cocoa by 5g to boast the chocolate abit & added all the sugar (I used 40g coconut sugar & 220g of brown).  Will definetly make this again especially because my picky son loves them without any icing so it's not a super sugar overload.  Thanks so much tmrc_emoticons.)

  • I tried this recipe exactly.

    Submitted by AnnLovegood on 24. June 2015 - 23:13.

    I tried this recipe exactly. I did not make the frosting, but I did drizzle some chocolate ganache over my slice. Pretty tasteless and the chocolate taste was overpowered by the zucchini in the cake. I would definitely increase 100g of sugar in the future though I don't think I'll be making this recipe again. Even my grandma, who always complains about my bakes being too sweet, said this cake was a little tasteless.

    This was great, didn't have plain so just subbed self raising and left out bicarb/baking powder. Also only had half the brown sugar so topped it up with some regular sugar!! Tasted great no need for icing, moist and delicious!
