Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) since we’re gonna bake the cake layer right after mixing.
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan so your cake won’t stick. It’s a little imperfect step but worth it.
- Mix dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg. Whisk them good so you don’t see clumps.
- Whip eggs, oil, sugar in another bowl till smooth. Then stir in that fresh grated zucchini making sure it’s mixed even.
- Combine wet with dry slowly and gently. Don’t overmix just till you don’t see dry flour spots.
- Pour batter into pan and bake 40-50 minutes. Stick a toothpick in center after 40 minutes - it should come out clean. Cool in pan 10, then wire rack to chill.
- Grate zucchini ahead and store in a bag in the fridge. Saves scrambling on baking day.
- Use pre-measured dry mixes stored in airtight containers to speed the flour and spices step.
- Combine sugars with oil first so they dissolve smooth and quick.
Notes
Serve warm and enjoy the tender, moist zucchini cake with a cup of coffee or tea. Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature or refrigerated for freshness.
