Ingredients

  • 3 cups zucchini grated
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for bundt pan
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 12 tbsp butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh orange juice

Orange Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 3 tbsp fresh orange juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Grate zucchini and then squeeze dry in a kitchen towel to remove excess water. Measure out three cups.
  • Grease a 6-cup bundt pan and lightly flour. (Make sure to tap out excess flour.)
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Stir together eggs and sugar. Gradually mix in melted butter, zucchini, orange zest and juice.
  • Stir in flour mixture just until combined. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Let cake cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before inverting the cake pan and turning it out onto a wire rack. Let cool for an additional 30 minutes before glazing.

Orange Glaze

  • Whisk glaze ingredients together and drizzle over slightly cooled cake. If glaze is too thick, add more orange juice. If it is too thin, whisk in more sugar.
