I'm not a big fan of apples, but I still liked this cake. The chocolate flavor was very strong.

I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I used chopped walnuts instead. The cake was still very good.

This cake was a hit at my picnic! It was moist and flavorful, with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The zucchini added a lovely moistness and the apples gave it a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
