These cakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were made with a lighter flour blend.

I've made these cakes several times now and they're always a hit. They're so moist and chocolatey, and the walnuts add a nice touch of crunch.

These cakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a gluten-free flour blend and they still came out moist and fluffy. I also added some chocolate chips to the batter and they were a hit with my family.

I made these chocolate zucchini cakes with walnuts last night and they were delicious! They were moist and flavorful, and the walnuts added a nice crunch. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.
