This cake was a disaster! It never rose properly and the texture was dense and crumbly. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake is okay. It's a bit dry and the chocolate flavor is not very strong.

I had some trouble getting the cake to bake evenly. The center was still a bit gooey after the recommended baking time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. They said it was the best chocolate cake they'd ever had.

This cake was simple to make and turned out perfectly! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor was rich and decadent. I frosted it with a simple chocolate ganache and it was divine. Definitely a new favorite!

I'm not usually a fan of courgette in desserts, but this cake was surprisingly delicious! The chocolate flavor was rich and decadent, and the courgette added a lovely moistness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This courgette chocolate cake was a delightful surprise! I was skeptical about using zucchini in a cake, but the result was moist, flavorful, and incredibly rich. The chocolate flavor was perfectly balanced by the natural sweetness of the courgettes.
