My husband does not like cake, he is more of a biscuit sort of guy - he likes the crunch, but I convinced him to try it and he was hooked. It is rich, moist and very tasty. Great to feed a large family as a dessert with ice cream or cream and great with a cuppa. I made it in a large oblong metal pan and cut it into 16 generous pieces. You could make them smaller, but why would you? Very delicious. Making another one today. I omitted the walnuts as I didn't have any on hand and didn't miss them at all. Am am about to make my third in 2 weeks today!

The recipe desperately needs an amendment to Step 5: Spread the batter into TWO prepared cake tins. It is really very unclear that this recipe is a double and the cook time does assume that you have used two tins. My enormous cake (in one tin) needed an extra half hour in the oven. Otherwise I’d give it top marks - a great way to use up that glut of zucchini!, approved=true, user_name=Rachael, hs_createdate=1737595993659, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=22920350337}, {comment_text=Delicious and so easy to make. I omitted the cloves because, yuk. I used chopped walnuts and doubled the quantity then stirred into the mixture with the chocolate.
