Hi
I ❤️ this cake so much so had to add another comment.
This cake is so delicious 😋 it is going to make me put on weight
(Believe me I need to)
I am cancelling out any other zucchini cake recipes I have as this is my go to one
I encourage other people to try it
I am not a great cake eater but this cake is absolutely delicious.
I will definitely be making it in future
The orange gives it so much flavour.
I frequently find myself going back for another slice
Definitely recommend 👌
Could I replace the butter with oil?
Could this be frozen do you think? Want to store up my zucchini stash for the end of the season!
Really yummy!! After removing the zucchini I added the orange peel and wizzed up, before adding the butter & sugar (which I used coconut sugar & reduced to 160g).
I loved that the final product was really orangey coz sometimes that gets lost. And the zucchini has kept it nice and moist.
Wondering if you could make cupcakes... I can't see why not hey?
Delicious and truly as easy as described. I milled the orange rind with the sugar as an earlier comment suggested as I have two fussy boys who dont like lumps in their food. They loved this cake with no idea about the zucchini. Trying to give it 5 stars but cant get it to work!
Lovely flavours. I reduced sugar to 170g, butter to 140 g , flour to 190 g, but added 110 g almonds which I milled at the start and also 1 tsp baking powder. Will definitely make again. Also I peel off the Orange rind at the start and mill it with the sugar before I add the butter. This way the flavour infusers better.
yum! Very moist and refreshing
So sorry, Emma! I will fix that when I get home and check my other recipe. Thanks for pointing it out. How did your cake turn out?
