Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:

   • Begin by washing the zucchini thoroughly and cutting off both ends.
   • Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater until you achieve a finely shredded texture. Set it aside to allow any excess moisture to drain off.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

   • In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and baking powder together to ensure the mixture is light and airy.

3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until light and frothy.
   • Add the sugar to the eggs and mix until the sugar is well dissolved.
   • Slice the vanilla bean in half, scrape out the seeds, and add them to the egg mixture.
   • Pour in the cornseed oil and mix everything together until fully incorporated.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to ensure everything is blended smoothly.
   • Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the grated zucchini, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5. Bake the Cake:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve:

   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
   • Serve this moist and flavorful zucchini sweet cake as a delightful dessert or a special treat with your afternoon tea!
