Zucchini Cake

After having posted a recipe for Zucchini Pancakes, I got inspired to bake a "real" zucchini cake.

Therefore ZRS proudly presents:

Zaphira's low fat version of Mr. Rinse's Zucchini Cake:

Ingredients :
1 large grated Zucchini (Courgette)
1/3 cup oil (canola is good)
1/2 cup skim milk
1 and half cups brown sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and half teaspoons of cinnamon
1 and half teaspoons of nutmeg
1 teaspon Salt
Green colouring, if desired (:wink:)

How to:
1) Whip eggs and sugar thoroughly
2) Add courgettes, oil, milk, salt and spices
3) Sift together flour, baking powder and soda
4) Gradually fold dry ingredients into Zucchini mix
5) Put baking paper into a deep 9 inch cake tin (or an alternative container)
6) Bake at 350f (about 170c) for 1 hour

cool before turning out.



I put ordinary icing on it instead of the suggested cream cheese icing. This isn't a very sweet cake in itself, and I didn't know how to make cream cheese icing. :D

Thanks for the recipe, Mr. Rinse. :happy:

Take my word for it, folks - this is a splendid cake - adjusted most suitably by Pussy Cat - the cream cheese icing (as per carrot cake) can easily be dispensed with here..I think this is better than the original :D Thank you, Pussy Cat :heart: Yum :up:

Zaphira 22. June 2009, 12:13

Next time I'll try it with the suggested cheese icing. :happy:
:heart:

Dacotah 22. June 2009, 13:33

You are welcome Zaphira.

rose-marie 23. June 2009, 07:41

It looks good, and if I didn't know what it was, I'd definitely try it! p:

Zaphira 23. June 2009, 07:59

hahaha, that's a good one, Rose. I'll make sure you'll never know what I serve for you! :lol:

rose-marie 23. June 2009, 08:13

I can't wait! :happy:

Zaphira 23. June 2009, 08:17

Ooh... :swoon: :love:

dbshadow 23. June 2009, 20:20

I would leave off the icing and eat it warm with a scoop of ice cream, to make it low fat. :yes: :yes: :hat:

Zaphira 23. June 2009, 21:14

Ice cream would be okay with this cake. But hey, ice cream is good with almost all cakes. :yes:

Dacotah 23. June 2009, 22:27

Zaphira, when I was talking to the bug teacher he saw this post too. He was really liking it. :D

Zaphira 24. June 2009, 04:16

Furie 24. June 2009, 11:47

Dacotah 24. June 2009, 11:48
