Zucchini Spice Cake
Original Recipe by Taylor Celentano
Ingredients
- For the Cake:
2 1/2 cups almond flour
2/3 cup coconut flour
1 teaspoon tapioca starch
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup vegetable oil (can also use melted coconut oil)
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups Stevia in the Raw
3 cups grated and strained zucchini (about 2 1/2 medium-large zucchinis)
- For the Frosting:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup Stevia in the Raw
4 tablespoons vegan butter (melted)
3 tablespoons unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all your dry ingredients for your cake in a large bowl.
- Grate your zucchini, wrap it in a cheesecloth OR a few sheets of paper towel, and roll at the top to create a pouch around your zucchini. Squeeze as much water out as possible.
- Mix your wet ingredients in a separate bowl, then add in your zucchini.
- Mix your wet ingredients into your large bowl of dry ingredients, making sure to combine really well.
- Spray your baking pan with nonstick spray, and pour your batter in using a spatula to smooth and evenly disperse to all four corners of the pan.
- Bake for 25-32 minutes. Using a knife or toothpick, insert into your cake to test at 25 minutes to make sure you don't overbake.
- While the cake is baking, mix your frosting ingredients together in a bowl and put in the fridge to thicken.
- Let your cake cool for about 25-30 minutes before icing (leave your frosting in the fridge until you are ready to ice your cake).
- Once cooled, spread frosting evenly across your sheet cake, making sure all four corners are covered; slice a piece for yourself; and enjoy!
