Eggless Zucchini cake - Eggless baking, healthy, cake, nuts, cinnamon flavored cakeEggless Zucchini Cake – This is definitely one of the tastiest cake I have eaten. And I can call it healthy also as it has Zucchini in it. Do your kids eat Zucchini? More important do you like Zucchini πŸ˜‰
Well, I do and so does my hubby ( he is the health conscious one) but my kids hate it. I even had a hard time getting my son to taste this cake just because he knew it has zucchini in it.

This is my sister’s recipe. Did I tell you that I learned to bake a cake from her? She is a really good cook. Well, takes after my mother I think πŸ™‚

Zucchini was not readily available in India a few years back at least not in our neighborhood vegetable market but now in winters, we can get really good fresh zucchini. Because of its health benefits, we try to incorporate it in many recipes. we make its soups, stir-fries, sneaked it in pav bhaji, pasta sauce. I hope my son is not reading this post;-)

But since I have eaten this Zucchini cake I have no worries about making kids eat Zucchini. Flavor of cinnamon is so strong that kids will not even realize that this cake has zucchini in it unless they saw you putting zucchini in it as mine did πŸ™‚

How to make Eggless Zucchini cake

recipe source: Anu Jain
Preparation time: 10 minutes
baking time: 25- 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1½ cup plain flour
1/2 cup walnuts chopped
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
¼ cup milk
1 cup zucchini ( peeled and grated)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup oil ( I have used olive oil)

Note: I have not used walnuts because my younger son does not like nuts in cakes but they definitely add to the recipe. Don’t skip them.
my sister uses ½ tsp baking soda but I have used ½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp baking soda. Again personal preference. you can use either.

Shift it to a greased baking pan. Tap the pan on the counter 2-3 times to release trapped air.
