This zucchini spice recipe is a dense cake reminiscent of carrot cake. I created the dish to make use of a bumper crop of zucchini and to get my kids to eat more fruits and veggies without them knowing it. I frequently add an extra cup of stir-ins — raisins, flaked coconut, and walnuts or pecans are favorites.
Ingredients
- 3 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9×13-inch pan.
Step 2
Place grated zucchini in a colander and set aside to drain.
Step 3
Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Beat eggs, applesauce, oil, and vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth. Fold in flour mixture, then stir in zucchini. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
Tips
If you would like, add up to 1 cup of raisins, flaked coconut, walnuts, or pecans, when you add the zucchini in Step 3.
