Zucchini Cake Recipe

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.

Instructions

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

  • 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

    Wow how fun is this cake! I am sending it to my dad! He ends up with SO many zucchinis that he makes about 50 loaves of bread, no joke. He sends me a box from his garden every summer! Love love love.

    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?

    • 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.
