Will let you know once I have given this cake a go. Thanks M – I will have to do a bit of research on where to buy the agave but yeah that sounds like the answer.

I mean, the cake still has a ton of sugar in it. But if you're looking for a lower GI sweetener, you could replace the sugar with Agave (<a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/3031565" rel="nofollow">GI of Agave is 15 while GI of white sugar is 65</a>). According to <a href="http://www.allaboutagave.com/substituting-agave-nectar-for-other-sugars.php" rel="nofollow">this website</a>, for each cup of white sugar replaced, use 2/3 of a cup of agave and reduce other liquids by 1/4 to 1/3 cup.

Doesn;t sound like too much sugar either so might just be OK for me a diabetic. Looks delicious Monica, might have to try this to wean Mary off chocolate biscuits.

It worked great! This is also very good with vegan mango ice cream. I'd like to try it with vanilla or some kind of berry flavored ice "cream".

The zucchini is there to add moisture for the most part - and it does a great job at that! Let me know if you give it a try. Just be aware, this cake doesn’t taste like zucchini at all.
