Ingredients:
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 3/4 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder (Dalchini)
- 3/4 cup Sugar, powdered
- 2 Whole Eggs
- 1/4 cup Oil
- 1/4 cup Curd (Dahi / Yogurt), thick
- 1 cup Green zucchini, grated with peel (squeeze to remove excess moisture)

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180Β°C and grease your cake mold with oil.
- In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon powder. Sift this dry mixture through a fine sieve and set aside.

- Add sugar to the beaten eggs and continue beating on high speed until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Add oil, curd, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Beat at medium speed until well combined.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix on the lowest speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the grated zucchini. If using, add walnuts or chocolate chips at this stage.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake mold and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cake cool slightly before serving.
