Delicious Zucchini and Walnut Cake

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Finely grated zucchini acts as a natural moisturizer for the dough, dispensing with the addition of milk or water. - The vigorous beating of the eggs with the sugar creates the aeration indispensable to support the weight of the nuts and the vegetable. - Baking for 40 minutes at 180°C lets excess zucchini water evaporate without turning center gummy.

2 cups of grated zucchini
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
If there is too much zucchini, remove some water before adding to the dough.
Substitute the walnuts with hazelnuts or almonds for an interesting variation.

The cake can be stored in a closed container for up to 5 days.
For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the batter.

Chef Tips

- Squeeze the grated zucchini lightly with your hands or a clean cloth if it releases too much liquid before adding to the beaten eggs. - Chop the walnuts into medium pieces and coat them in a pinch of flour so they don't sink to the bottom of the pan. - Grate the zucchini on the medium grater keeping the peel well washed to provide attractive green dots on the slice.

Variations

- Add half a cup of chopped dark chocolate to the dough along with the walnuts to enrich the combination. - Add fine lemon or orange zest to introduce a refreshing citrus note to the cinnamon aroma. - Cover the unmolded and cold cake with a thin layer of powdered sugar glaze and drops of lemon.

Substitutions

- Chopped walnuts can be replaced by crushed Brazil nuts, toasted almonds, or sunflower seeds. - The refined white sugar can be replaced by brown or demerara sugar for a caramelized touch. - Traditional vegetable oil can be replaced by melted coconut oil or mild olive oil.

How to Store

Conserve o bolo de abobrinha em recipiente fechado em local fresco por até 3 dias. Como possui elevado teor de umidade vegetal, se o clima estiver quente guarde na geladeira por até 5 dias em pote vedado.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the already baked cake in individual slices wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 1 hour or heat quickly in the toaster or electric oven.

What to Serve With

It's the perfect companion for a cup of hot black tea with spices, freshly brewed coffee, or fresh mint tea. Pairs very well served slightly warm with a thin layer of salted butter.
