Time 1h35m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups finely grated peeled zucchini
1 cup ground almonds
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).
  • Grease and flour a 10-inch (3 L) tube pan. (I often use a bunt pan / ring mould instead).
  • Sift together: the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until thick and light-coloured. Gradually add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the oil and almond extract. Blend in the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Stir in the zucchini and ground almonds.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a 350 F (180 C) oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool it completely on a rack.
  • For the glaze, combine the icing sugar, milk, and almond extract together in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Spread over the top of the cooled cake, letting the icing run down the sides. Sprinkle the sliced almonds overtop.

Overall, this cake was a good starting point, but I think it needs a few tweaks to make it perfect.

The cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of flour next time.

The cake didn't rise very well. I think I'll make sure to measure the ingredients more carefully next time.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some extra zucchini next time.

This cake is so moist and flavorful! The almond flour gives it a nice dense texture, and the zucchini adds a subtle sweetness. I love that it's a healthier alternative to traditional cakes.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a bundt pan, and it came out with a gorgeous golden crust. The flavor was delicate and delicious, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again for company.

I was skeptical about using zucchini in a cake, but this recipe proved me wrong! The zucchini added a subtle sweetness and moisture to the cake, and the almond flour gave it a lovely nutty flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

This zucchini almond cake was a delightful surprise! The combination of almond flour, zucchini, and spices gave it a moist and flavorful texture. I added a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg, and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely make it again!
