Just as it does in muffins and breads, shredded zucchini lends moistness to this cake.

Time 1h40m

Yield Makes one 8-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon anise seeds
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
Coarse salt
2 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces each)
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
Orange Glaze
Candied Zucchini Strips, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush a 6-cup Bundt pan with butter, and dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze dry in a clean kitchen towel or press in a ricer. (You will need 2 1/2 cups.)
  • Stir together eggs and sugar, then stir in melted butter, zucchini, and orange zest and juice. Stir in flour mixture. Transfer batter to pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour (cake will rise quite a bit over the top of the pan but should not run over). Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cake cool for 10 minutes. Run a paring knife around edges of cake to loosen, and turn out onto wire rack. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • Brush several layers of orange glaze evenly over cake, and garnish with candied zucchini before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cake turned out dense and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the glaze.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but this cake was surprisingly good! The orange glaze really makes it.

This cake is so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used a lemon glaze instead of an orange glaze and it was still delicious.
