I made this cake a fortnight ago and was so impressed I have two in the oven now. The first two ( the recipe made two loaf cakes) I covered with ganache but this time I will use a normal chocolate icing. They freeze well too.

I suggest ditching the oil and doubling the eggs - the original recipe we found way too oily, and more pudding texture than cake. A second go without the added oil and using two eggs (we halved the entire recipe) was perfect :)

Delicious! 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!

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. Found a great chocolate icing using butter and milk on Allrecipes.
