I hope you give this delicious cake a try, and please come back and let me know what you thought of it! Here is where you can just slice your cake and eat it… BUT I highly recommend adding my favorite icing! My quick pour vanilla icing is so easy to make and pour on top of the cake once it cools. Then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a cooling rack until its completely cooled. Let your cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Remember that ring I talked about where the cake cracks that stays nice and moist? You will lose this if you bake it too long and I promise you don’t want that! It’s sooo good! It’s ok if there is a little bit of crumb on it. You can test for doneness with a toothpick. I would be careful about leaving it in the oven for any more than 60 minutes. Then just place it in the oven on the middle rack and go check off something else on your to-do list… you’ll have the time! This cake bakes low and slow at 325 degrees for at least 50 minutes. As soon as everything looks combined I turn off my mixer and pour the batter into the bundt pan. Be sure to start and end with your flour mixture! I usually break the flour up into 3 parts and the zucchini into 2 parts. Alternate the flour mixture and the zucchini into the mixer with your wet ingredients. Once you have your wet ingredients combined you are going to add everything you had previously set aside. Start off slow, but then increase to medium speed until everything is fully incorporated scraping down the sides. In the bowl of your mixer add your oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. And while we are setting things to the side… let’s spray our bundt cake pan with baking spray and, yup, set that to the side. Your flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Now I like to mix the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Don’t wring it out! Set Those Dry Ingredients Aside At this point, you can just set your zucchini to the side. I have this grater and I love it! It collects and measures out the grated food as you go. depending on the size of the zucchini it will take 1 to 1 1/2 of them to get you there. I use the larger holed side of my grater and shred away until I reach 2 cups. While we do want moisture from the zucchini to end up in our cake… we don’t want water. Make sure you dry it off really well after you wash your squash. Let’s start with the star of this cake, the zucchini. I suggest watching with the sound on so you can dance along with me too… I always jam out to music and dance in the kitchen.įirst things first. It’s the sped up version of how I pull everything together.

I will take you through the process of making this cake step by step but feel free to check out my video. If you bake it correctly, there is even an extra moist ring in the center of the cake where the surface cracks… this is my FAVORITE part! One of my very best friends was a naysayer who now makes special requests for my zucchini cake and I love that! The zucchini gives you a cake that is moist. Trust me on this one though, you DON’T taste it at all! Once I am able to convince skeptics to give it a try, they instantly fall in love. I have met plenty that didn’t want to try it… Squash in a cake might not sound appealing to everyone. I have never met a person who did not love this cake. I know, that sounds awful, but we are making memories here… ha! This cake is just that special to me. They don’t have to work hard to convince me to let them have it for breakfast, before a meal, or load up on seconds. I hope when my boys are grown the smell of this cake baking will remind them of their childhood and just how much I love them. If you have any farm stands or markets nearby check out the produce selection there. Especially when the weather turns warmer and I can find the squash local and fresh. Now that I am a mom, I find myself baking it all the time for my children. I’m pretty sure this cake is the first thing I ever baked and it certainly is my favorite. If we were growing zucchini on the farm that year, it would be made even more often. My mom made this cake all the time when I was growing up. It fills the house with the scent of cinnamon and I just feel such comfort in my soul. Where do I even begin? Do you know how some smells can evoke a memory? Well, the smell of this cake baking in the oven takes me back to my childhood.
