I have two HUGE zucchinis to use and wanted to try some of the recipes here, but only one has any rating. Has anyone tried any of the recipes here, and if so how did you like them?

bumping myself - I'm going to start with Chocolate Zucchini Cake I, but I'll still have enough zucchini to do 4-5 breads/cakes so I'd still love any input. I'll make sure to review the ones I try too!

I have not tried any on this site - but zucchini bread is easy to make and very yummy!

There is a recipe on here somewhere for Zucchini chocolate chip muffins that is pretty good!!!

If I have zuccinni that is going to go bad or too many of them I grate them and seal 2 cups per bag and into the freezer it goes. It is a little watery when it defrost but cooks up great! Nothing like warm zuccinni bread in the middle of winter!! And one bag is what my zuccinni bread recipe calls for.

I don't have a recipe, but my office gets some meetings catered with an AWESOME chocolate zucchini cake/loaf cake. I wouldnt' be too scared to try it - I think they're pretty moist, don't know how it would work to stack or decorate, but it's really really good with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top.

I just thought of a zuccinni recipe but it is not a dessert. Z. casserole.
You layer slices of potato, zuccinni, pepperoni, browned ground beef, and tomato sauce. top repeat to the top of casserole dish and top with shredded cheese. bake until potatos are done. Yummy

MMMM sounds yummy - I was going to do a zucchini parmesan kind of like you'd do eggplant parmesan. I'm going to try the cake recipes tonight now that the kids are in bed and my butter's soft.

hello ...
I love zucchini... you can do so much with it...
when you get tired of chocolate zucchini bread, try this.

ciao

I tried the Chocolate Zucchini Cake I tonight. It tastes delicious, although I did have some other issues LOL. I'm not sure I cooked it long enough even though my skewers came out clean. I'm wondering if I had too much zucchini in. Measuring out can vary depending on how fine you grate the zucchini. I'm probably going to try it again with less zucchini. I didn't care for the chocolate chips and nuts on top. It would be fine if I'd done it in a 9x13 and served it that way. I would either omit them or mix them into the batter next time. Mine fell apart coming out of the pan so I'm going to spoon it into a bowl and we'll all enjoy eating scraps! The nest one I'm going to try in my silicone bundt. I want to give one to the person that gave me the zucchini. I've got enough from the one zucchini to do 3 cakes and I have another the same size. I'll try a different recipe too and let you know how that goes.

So, tastes great, need to perfect getting it baked

my pleasure; I hope you enjoy it; let me know...
ciao

hello again
I am glad you liked it; I will send you the recipe for the glaze.
Even though the recipe says unpeeled zukes, when I make this for 'company' I do peel the zucchini; Personally I love it with the peel & the green specks add character.
ciao for now
