Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups finely shredded and lightly drained zucchini
3 large eggs, (lightly beaten, room temperature)
1 cup (224g) vegetable oil
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2¼ cups (450g) granulated sugar
3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 pint fresh blueberries, (you can reserve a few for garnish if so desired)
1 cup (226g) butter, room temperature
3½ cups confectioners' sugar
juice of one lemon
zest of one lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans with butter and flour or use non-stick baking spray.
  • Grate a large zucchini (or two small zucchini) and place in a clean dish towel. Life the edges of the towel up and squeeze some of the extra moisture out, but you do not want the zucchini to be dry. You will want 2 total cups of shredded zucchini after it has been drained. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl and using a hand mixer, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini.
  • Slowly stir in the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold in the blueberries. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • Combine butter, sugar and salt and beat until well combined.
  • Add lemon juice and vanilla and continue to beat for another 3 to 5 minute or until creamy.
  • Fold in zest (If you are piping this buttercream, I recommend leaving out the zest).

Provided by KDReese23

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Lemon Dessert Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
¾ cup salted butter, softened
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 ½ cups fresh blueberries
1 cup salted butter, softened
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter and sugar three 8-inch round nonstick cake pans.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Mix in lemon juice until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, mixing until fully combined. Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk with the mixer set to the lowest speed. Mix until batter is smooth, scraping the bowl down occasionally. Use a spatula to gently fold in blueberries.
  • Fill the prepared cake pans evenly with batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from the pans, about 30 minutes.
  • While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed. Reduce speed to low and add confectioners' sugar a little at a time, alternating with splashes of milk and vanilla extract. Mix until frosting is smooth.
  • Spread frosting over each of the cooled cake layers and stack; then frost the sides.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh blueberries and zucchini. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them completely before adding them to the batter.
  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will help to release its moisture and make it easier to mix into the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as this can dry out the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.

Conclusion:

Blueberry zucchini snack cake with lemon buttercream is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the blueberries and zucchini. The lemon buttercream frosting is light and fluffy, with a refreshing citrus flavor. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
