We got our first zucchini out of the garden last week and you would have thought I won the lottery I was so excited. It kind of snuck up on me, hidden behind one of the tomato plants and man, when I found that baby, it was awesome!

I immediately starting thinking of all sorts of zucchini recipes I wanted to make but landed on this one – a gorgeous Zucchini Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze.

There is something about zucchini recipes that make me happy. It’s amazing how a simple vegetable can be so versatile. Brownies, cakes, cookies, bread, quiche – I think zucchini goes with everything 🙂

The extra moisture that the zucchini provides to this cake is outstanding. This may be the most perfectly moist cake I’ve ever tried.

I love how delicate this cake is despite the incredible mositure. It feels like a true delicacy.

The fresh orange juice and orange zest really brighten up this beautiful bundt cake. I love seeing the specks of orange throughout the cake as well as the glaze – little bits of bright, fresh flavor.

This cake disappeared far too fast and we are now all eagerly awaiting our next zucchini – fresh from the garden!

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.

    Wondering if i could just spray the inside of bunt pan with something like butter flavored Pam, instead of the flour and crisco?

      Yes! I actually use the spray with the flour in it and that works great.

    Do you think the Orange zucchini bundt cake one could substitute lemon for orange?

      Sure! I might add a bit more sugar to compensate though.

    I found this on Pinterest and would love to make it for a group coming over on Friday. Can you tell me what size zucchini to use? I don’t want to mess this up. It looks and sounds amazing.

      The recipe calls for 3 cups so keep grating any size zucchini until you reach that amount. Also one orange yielded enough orange zest and 5 Tablespoons of juice exactly! FYI!

    Hi:

    This looks quite yummy but I am wondering about the 2 listings for different amounts of orange juice in the glaze. Is one supposed to be in the cake?

    Reply
    • Trish - Mom On Timeout says

      June 12, 2014 at 6:26 PM

      Hi Kit! The 2 Tbls is for the cake and the 3 Tbls is for the glaze! Thank you!!

        Hi Trish: Thanks for answering so quickly. I want to make sure I get this recipe right before I make it cause it looks so beautiful. I also think the butter listed in the glaze ingredients probably belongs in the cake.
