These cakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different recipe next time.

The cakes were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe some applesauce or yogurt.

These cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed these cakes. The chocolate and walnuts really helped to balance out the zucchini flavor.

These cakes are a great way to use up leftover zucchini. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional chocolate cake.

Delicious! I added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter and they were perfect.
