Zucchini Almond Cake Recipes

ZUCCHINI ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).
• Grease and flour a 10-inch (3 L) tube pan. (I often use a bunt pan / ring mould instead).
• Sift together: the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until thick and light-coloured. Gradually add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the oil and almond extract. Blend in the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Stir in the zucchini and ground almonds.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a 350 F (180 C) oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool it completely on a rack.
• For the glaze, combine the icing sugar, milk, and almond extract together in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Spread over the top of the cooled cake, letting the icing run down the sides. Sprinkle the sliced almonds overtop.

GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI-ALMOND CAKE

Steps:

• Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round, 2-inch deep cake pan. Line bottom with parchment round; butter paper. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt.
• Set a large heatproof bowl over (not in) a pot with 1 inch barely simmering water. Add eggs and whisk until foamy, about 1 minute. Whisk in brown sugar and continue to whisk until mixture is fluffy and sugar is dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove bowl from pot and, using a mixer, whisk on high until mixture is pale, thick, and cool to touch, 7 to 10 minutes.
• With a flexible spatula, gently fold in melted butter, flour mixture, vanilla, and zucchini. Pour into pan and bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Invert onto a serving platter.
• Frosting:With mixer, beat together butter, vanilla, and cream cheese on medium-high until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Spread on top of cake. (Cake can be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.)
