Zucchini and Carrot Cake
« on: February 28, 2022, 07:00:56 am »
Zucchini and Carrot Cake
Ingredients
300g SR flour
330g brown sugar ( I reduced this a bit)
1 cup coarsely grated zucchini
1 cup grated carrot
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
250ml vegetable or canola oil
4 eggs
50g walnuts
Preparation
1. Turn the oven to 180*C. Prepare a loaf tin.
2.Blitz the carrot and set aside.
3. Blitz the zucchini and set aside.
4. Place flour, brown sugar, zucchini, carrot, walnuts, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large bowl.
5. Place butterfly into the bowl. Add oil and eggs. Mix on speed 4 until very well combined.
6. Pour this into the flour mixture.
7. Stir to combine and place into the prepared loaf tin.
8. Bake for 1 hour, until cooked. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before turning out.
This can be iced with a cream cheese icing but I don't think it really needs it. I found this in a Coles magazine many years ago.

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Thanks so much for sharing the recipe, Cookie, is that oven temperature conventional or fan forced?

Conventional Marina. I love this but don't make it too often as I will eat it all.
