How to Grate Zucchini for Cake

Grating zucchini for cake ensures you have moisture in every single bite. Just like preparing it to make Zucchini Bread, take the larger side of a square cheese grater and shred your zucchini. There is no need to squeeze it or remove any of the moisture you want it to make the bread moist!

Tips for Great Perfect Zucchini Cake

Soften all cold ingredients to room temperature. To quickly bring eggs to room temperature, put them in a warm water bath for about 10 minutes.

When measuring the flour, always sprinkle it into the measuring cup and don’t scoop it right out of the container for an accurate measurement.

Don’t overmix the batter-the batter should still be slightly lumpy for the best texture.

Note that dark pans bake more quickly than glass pans, so you might need to adjust your baking time.

What’s the best frosting for Zucchini Cake Recipe?

Almost any frosting is great with zucchini cake, depending on whether you prefer vanilla or chocolate. However, my personal favorite is Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.

This Zucchini Cake is quite easy to tailor to suit your taste. If you have a problem with nuts because of allergies, simply omit the nuts. If nuts aren’t a problem you can use either walnuts or pecans, whichever you prefer. Chocolate chips and raisins are also great if you want to give the cake a little something extra.
