Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 C flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3 tsp ground cinnamon (or to taste (we like cinnamon))
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3 C grated zucchini (loosely packed, about 2 medium zucchini )
1/2 C unsalted butter
1/2 C canola oil (or other light oil)
1 C granulated sugar
3/4 C dark brown sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 Linked recipe for Cream Cheese Frosting ((you'll have a little bit extra, about 1/2 C))
1/4 C chopped pecans or walnuts (for topping, optional 1)

Steps:

  • Prep a 9x13" cake pan with parchment and spray with non-stick spray or rub with a light coat of oil or butter to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
  • Grate the zucchini. Enough for 3 loosely packed cups. Set aside.
  • In a medium-large bowl, beat softened butter, oil, white sugar, and brown sugar. The mixture will lighten and whip up when it becomes fully incorporated.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, and beat after each addition. Add vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients in 2 batches. Mix on low speed just long enough to fully incorporate the flour. Avoid overmixing.
  • Switch to a spoon or spatula and fold in the zucchini. The batter will be thick but will be smooth & silky once the zucchini has a chance to meld with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly.
  • Bake at 350f for about 30 - 35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Avoid over-baking.
  • You'll need 1 recipe of my Cream Cheese Frosting (or your own favorite recipe).
  • Allow the cake to fully cool and frost.
  • Sprinkle with nuts (optional). Slice and serve. See notes.

ZUCCHINI SPICE CAKE



Zucchini Spice Cake image

I created this recipe to use up a bumper crop of zucchini and to get my kids to eat more fruits and veggies without them knowing it. It is a dense cake reminiscent of carrot cake. I frequently add in an extra cup of stir-ins. Raisins, flake coconut, and walnuts or pecans are favorites.

BROWN SUGAR FUDGE FROSTING



Brown Sugar Fudge Frosting image

This frosting tastes exactly like Brown Sugar Fudge (we call it Penuche around here). It is a fantastic topping for Chocolate, Spice or Banana Cake) and is easy to make and spread (it does harden a bit on standing though). Really delicious (especially if you make sure and use REAL butter....margarine just doesn't create the same taste).

SPICY ZUCCHINI CAKE WITH BROWN SUGAR FUDGE FROSTING



Spicy Zucchini Cake With Brown Sugar Fudge Frosting image

From "Cake Mix Magic." This recipe includes sour cream in the batter to make it more moist. The cookbook author suggests not peeling the zucchini. The green flecks are interesting. She also notes that the frosting hardens quickly after it begins to cool, so use it immediately after mixing. If it does harden before you get to use it, rewarm it on low heat to soften it up. You can also try substituting carrot for the zucchini.
