Ingredients

  • 3 cups zucchini grated

  • 12 tablespoons butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Orange Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 6-cup bundt pan and lightly flour. (Make sure to tap out excess flour.) Set aside.

  • Whisk together eggs and sugar. Gradually mix in melted butter, zucchini, orange zest and juice.
    3 cups zucchini, 3 large eggs, 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, 12 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 2 tablespoons fresh orange 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.
    1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon orange zest, 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
