ZUCCHINI CAKE WITH CRUNCHY LEMON GLAZE



Zucchini Cake with Crunchy Lemon Glaze image

Adapted from Dolce Italiano: Desserts from the Babbo Kitchen by Gina DePalma This is a substantial (and very good) cake. The crunchy glaze with the tang of fresh lemon juice really makes the cake special. Be sure to grease the cake pan well to make sure it slides out easily (I use a non-stick one) and also make sure the cake is fully baked. Gina recommended olive oil in her original recipe, which is very good, but the cake also works with neutral vegetable oil in its place. The best way to invert the cake is to lay the cooling rack over the top of the cake pan, then grasping both the cake pan and the rack simultaneously (if it's too hot, wear oven mitts), flip them both over at once. Lift off the cake pan, then liberally brush the glaze over the warm cake.

ZUCCHINI BUNDT CAKE WITH CRUNCHY LEMON GLAZE



ZUCCHINI BUNDT CAKE WITH CRUNCHY LEMON GLAZE image

Categories     Vegetable

Yield 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the cake:
1 cup (135g) almonds, pecans, or walnuts, toasted
2 cups (280g) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon dried ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 3/4 (350g) cups sugar
1 cup (250ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups (300g) finely grated zucchini
For the lemon glaze:
1/4 cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
1 cup (140g) powdered (confectioner’s) sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 10 cup (2.5l) bundt or tube cake pan* with non-stick spray or butter, dust with flour, then tap out any excess. 2. Pulse the nuts in a food processor until finely chopped. 3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside. 4. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, 1 3/4 cup (350g) sugar, and olive oil for 3 minutes on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the mixer, then add the vanilla. 5. Mix in the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the mixer bowl to make sure everything is mixed in well, then beat on medium speed for 30 seconds. 6. Stir in the chopped nuts and zucchini. 7. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan, smooth the top, then bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan. 8. During the last few minutes of the cake baking, make the glaze by whisking together the lemon juice, 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. 9. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a cooling rack. Brush the glaze over the cake with a pastry brush and let the cake cool completely. Storage: The cake can be wrapped (or put under a cake dome) and will keep for a few days. You can freeze the unglazed cake. However to apply the glaze, you’ll need to defrost the cake then warm it so the glaze will adhere properly. *If you don’t have a bundt or tube pan, I noticed that both Adam and Sara made the cake in a regular round cake pan with good results. This cake batter could also be baked in two loaf pans, which is easier for gift-giving, if you’re trying to share your zucchini bounty. You may need to reduce the baking time a little to compensate for the smaller pans.

Time 1h30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup graham wafer crumbs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Combine first 7 ingredients.
  • Add zucchini& nuts& toss lightly.
  • In a separate bowl, beat oil and sugar; add one egg at a time, beating until creamy and smooth.
  • Add crumbs& zucchine mixture; beat& blend well.
  • Pour into a greased 10" bundt pan or a large tube pan.
  • Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cake tests done.
  • Remove from pan; cool and glaze.
  • Glaze: Cream butter; add icing sugar and lemon juice; beat until smooth.
  • Drizzle over cooled cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content, which will help keep the cake moist. If you only have older zucchini, you may need to squeeze out some of the excess moisture before using it.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the cake batter. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with the grating blade.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a moderate temperature: This will help prevent the cake from overbrowning and drying out.
  • Cool the cake completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

Zucchini bundt cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for spring and summer. The lemon glaze adds a bright and citrusy flavor that makes this cake even more special. This cake is easy to make and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
