This budget-friendly cake is made by folding grated zucchini into a batter spiced with cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Its sturdy texture makes it easy to slice and pack in a lunch box, and the long bake keeps the center moist.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Zucchini

8 min

Grate the zucchini and squeeze out the excess water by hand. Set aside.

2

Mix the Batter

10 min

Beat the egg and granulated sugar. Add the cooking oil and mix. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves, then add them to the egg mixture.

3

Fold in the zucchini

5 min

Fold the squeezed zucchini into the batter and pour it into a greased cake pan.

4

Bake

65 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 170°C / 340°F until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly before removing the cake from the pan.

Reminder

Be sure to squeeze the excess water from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter; otherwise, the cake may sink in the middle. Allergens: Contains wheat (gluten, from flour), egg, and dairy (butter).

Kabağın suyunu sıkmayı atladım ve kek gerçekten ortadan çöktü, uyarıda haklısınız. Bir dahaki sefere iyice sıkarsam 65 dakikalık pişirme süresi yine de yeterli olur mu, yoksa biraz uzatmalı mıyım?

İyice sıkarsanız 65 dakika genelde yeterli olur, sadece kürdanla kontrol etmeyi ihmal etmeyin. Fırınınız güçlüyse birkaç dakika erken bakmanızda fayda var.
