When I First Made It

My friend gave me this Zucchini Spice Cake Recipe last summer. Her kitchen smelled so good when baking. She grated fresh zucchini into the cake batter.

The cake was soft and tasted like cinnamon cookies. Now I make this recipe every time I have extra zucchini.

What You Need

Large bowl
9×13 inch cake pan
Whisk

Measuring cups
Grater

Ingredients

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup oil
1 3/4 cups sugar

3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini

1/2 cup chopped nuts

How to Make

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease cake pan well. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg together. Grate zucchini and squeeze out extra water.

Beat oil, sugar, eggs in big bowl. Mix until smooth and light colored. Add vanilla and stir well. Add squeezed zucchini to mixture gently.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients slowly. Stir just until mixed completely. Fold in nuts using soft movements. Don’t mix too much or cake gets tough.

Pour batter into greased cake pan evenly. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Test center with toothpick stuck in. Cool completely before cutting into pieces.

Tips

Remove water from zucchini – Squeeze out water so cake doesn’t get soggy or wet.

Mix gently – Soft stirring keeps cake light and fluffy instead of heavy.
Use fresh spices – New spices taste much better than old ones.
Test with toothpick – Stick should come out mostly clean when done baking.

Let cool first – Hot cake breaks apart when you cut it too early.

What to Serve

Sweet Frosting: Mix cream cheese with sugar and vanilla. Spread on top of cooled cake for extra sweetness that everyone loves.

Ice Cream: Put vanilla ice cream next to warm cake slices. Cold and hot together tastes really good.

Conclusion

This Zucchini Spice Cake Recipe is easy to make at home. Hidden zucchini makes cake healthy while spices add great flavor.

Perfect way to use extra garden vegetables in sweet treats. Keep covered cake fresh for one week easily.
