I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted walnuts. It was still delicious!

This was the worst cake I've ever had. It was dry, tasteless, and the texture was like cardboard.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I was skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the almond added a nice touch. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this cake several times now, and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make, and it's always moist and delicious. I love that it's a good way to use up zucchini from my garden.

This zucchini almond cake was a delightful surprise! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the combination of zucchini and almond flavors was perfectly balanced. I added a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg, and it turned out even better than I expecte
