EXTRA (AP)PETITE: LOLA'S ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CAKE
Provided by EP Team
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grate zucchini and set aside. If if looks watery, blot off excess water with a paper towel otherwise I don't typically blot it. If you're doing the optional adding lemon juice or white vinegar into the milk step, do that now as well and set aside.
- In a bowl, sift together everything listed under "Dry ingredients bowl." Sifting is key for helping these ingredients combine evenly and to get rid of clumps. I only have a little sift, so just added each ingredient one at a time through the sift, stirred with a spoon, and re-sifted everything together.
- In a separate, large bowl, mix everything listed under "Wet ingredients bowl" using a hand beater until combined.
- Stir the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl. Use a large spoon or spatula to stir until combined.
- Stir in grated zucchini and optional chocolate chips.
- Scoop batter into cupcake liners or a well greased pan (this recipe fits into an 8 x 8 pan). I filled these to the brim of my cupcake tins for fuller, rounded cupcakes after baking.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes for cupcakes until a toothpick comes out of the center clean. For a larger sheet cake, bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the toothpick test is clean.
- Cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla using a mixer.
- Sift in the powdered sugar and continue mixing until smooth.
- Stir in optional lemon juice and/or zest half a teaspoon at a time to taste, until you're happy with the flavor. If needed, add a few tablespoons more confectioners sugar for thicker frosting.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes (frosting will thicken up a tad more) and then spread on top of FULLY COOLED cake. You can also make a DIY frosting piping bag (pictured below) by cutting off one corner of a ziploc bag.
EASY EGGLESS ZUCCHINI BREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5 (or 8×4) inch loaf pan. PRO TIP: when greasing pans for quick bread is best to use shortening instead of butter, since butter has water in it can cause sticking. Also, just brush the shortening over the bottom and half up to the sides of the pan; this will help the bread its height as it rises.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, together in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and zucchini together until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently whisk until just combined; please do not overmix. Foil in the chocolate chips, if using. The batter will be a bit thick, that is okay.
- Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with more chocolate chip, if desired.
- Bake for 50 - 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean (no raw batter, a few moist crumbs are okay). NOTE: if the bread is browning too fast, loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent heavy browning on top.
- Allow cooling completely before slicing.

ZUCCHINI SPICE CAKE
I created this recipe to use up a bumper crop of zucchini and to get my kids to eat more fruits and veggies without them knowing it. It is a dense cake reminiscent of carrot cake. I frequently add in an extra cup of stir-ins. Raisins, flake coconut, and walnuts or pecans are favorites.
