This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had been a little more moist. The flavor was good, but the texture was just a bit off.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this cake. I'm not usually a fan of zucchini bread, but this cake was moist and chocolatey with just a hint of zucchini flavor. I would definitely make it again.

I love this cake! It's so moist and flavorful. I've made it several times and it's always a hit. I usually add a little bit of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was very disappointed.
