Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:

    • Peel the zucchini, remove the seeds, and grate it finely.
    • Place the grated zucchini in a clean cloth and twist the cloth to squeeze out as much water as possible. It’s essential to ensure the zucchini is well-drained for a moist cake texture.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini with oil, beaten eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Sift Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. This step ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake.
  5. Prepare the Pan:

    • Grease and flour either one 9-inch Bundt tube pan or two loaf pans, depending on your preference.
  6. Bake:

    • Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC).
    • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading it out evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
    • Then, transfer the cake(s) to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Once cooled, turn out the cake(s) onto a serving plate.
  8. Enjoy!

    • Slice and serve this moist and tasty zucchini cake as a delightful dessert or snack. It’s perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, and you can even top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra indulgence.

This zucchini cake is not only incredibly flavorful but also a great way to incorporate some extra nutrients into your diet. Whether you’re serving it to picky eaters or hosting a gathering, this moist and tasty treat is sure to be a hit!
