     I would have to use a substitute for the sugar as my DH has diabetes, but will definitely give this recipe a try. Thank You. This will help to use up some of our Zucchini this summer. - 5/25/14

     I like the recipe, but with 28 servings per recipe, I think I'd rather find other ways for my calories. - 5/25/14

     This is a rather high calorie way to eat fruit. - 5/21/17

     I made for some very fussy vegetable haters. We didn’t tell them that there was a vegetable in the cake. I used stevia instead of sugar. I cooked in two quarter sheet pans and decorated with blueberries, raspberries and bananas in an American flag pattern. There wasn’t a scrap of cake left over. - 5/30/21

     I added a half cup chia seeds to the batter. They were detectable in the dish but it was delicious, and I upped the protein and fiber. Additionally, I made the frosting with 1.5 cups confectioner's instead of 2. Frosting was a little softer but not a soul in my home knew. Delicious!! - 5/21/20
