When this dish was served at a Shabbat meal several months ago, I was hesitant to have a taste since Zucchini was one of the ingredients. If it had been a kugel, then I would not have given it a second thought, but Zucchini cake? After my husband rolled his eyes I realized I was being childish and gave it a try. After that first bite, I had 2 slices!

This recipe can be served as muffins, as a side dish in a loaf pan or for dessert in a bundt pan! It is fluffy and moist with a hint of cinnamon.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
3 eggs (or 1 cup egg beaters)
1 Tbsp. vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini (3 small or 2 medium zucchini peeled) – BUT, YOU DON’T HAVE TO PEEL THEM – TASTES GREAT EITHER WAY.

Directions:
Blend the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla together. Ad all the dry ingredients and then add the zucchini last. Mix well.Bake at 350 for 50 minutes in 2 greased 10 ” loaf pans, or bake for longer in one bundt pan.

(Bake it until it is browned on top and a toothpick comes out clean).
