Tip
There is no need to squeeze the moisture out of the zucchini and as a benefit to this it keeps the cake so moist for days and days.

I wouldn't have thought zucchini would produce such a tasty, light and fluffy cake .
it is simply amazing .
Thank you for sharing 😁😁😁
The best zucchini cake ever! Thankyou!
OMG, delicious, disappeared in no time
What a great way to use up old zucchinis! The cake was super-moist and fluffy. I added a very ripe banana and reduced sugar to 180g and it was still quite sweet. I'll also add some spices next time. Thank you for this recipe, so versatile I'll definitely be using it again!
Wow I was so surprised, what a beautiful cake. So light and fluffy. And the facti it has a veggie in it is even better. I only had self raising flour so omitted the baking powder. Worked out perfectly.
Next time I might try with banana instead of all the sugar. Thanks
I made this yesterday, it was so easy, light, and highly scrumptious. It will now be my go to for using up all our home grown massive zucchinis.
What a lovely moist and tasty cake - thank you
Absolutely beautiful! I used rice bran oil and spelt flour. It makes a huge cake. I used a large square tin and it took 35mins, 180 degrees fan forced. Can't wait to make it again to impress family and friends.
Fantastic cake so light and moist my s on could not get enough of it. Made it a few times now.
Yum! So light and moist! I added 1/4 tsp each of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to spice it up a bit.
