Categories     Dessert     Baking     Cake     Sheet Cake     Zucchini

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cake:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon (can sub 1 teaspoon with other spices such as allspice and nutmeg, go easy on the cloves though)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
2 cups white, granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional, my addition)
2 cups (from about 3-4 regular sized zucchini) grated un-peeled zucchini (place grated zucchini in a sieve and press out some of the excess moisture before measuring)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (my grandmother recommends black walnuts)
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
Frosting:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature (Philadelphia cream cheese recommended)
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 to 2 cups of powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x12 or 9x13 baking pan (I used a pyrex pan).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a mixer, beat the 3 eggs on high speed until frothy. Lower the speed and beat in the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and lemon zest (if using). Stir in the flour mixture, a third at a time. Stir in the zucchini and chopped nuts and/or raisins.
  • Pour mixture into a 9x12 or 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes. (My grandmother's notes say you can also bake in an angel food pan for 1 hour.) Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting. (While the cake is cooling, let the frosting's cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature to soften.)

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Butter, for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons milk, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini (about 4 zucchini; use the small holes on a grater and pat dry with a paper towel)
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, more or less as needed
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 splashes milk, if needed
1/2 cup chopped pecans, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
  • Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Use young, tender zucchini for the best flavor and texture. Avoid large, mature zucchini, as they can be tough and watery.
  • Shred the zucchini finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the cake batter and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Zucchini cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up extra zucchini from your garden, and it's also a fun and easy cake to make with kids. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a zucchini cake recipe that everyone will love.
