Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients Needed
- All-Purpose Flour: I haven't tested with any other flour.
- Baking Soda and Baking Powder: Using both ensures that the cake is nice and fluffy and tender.
- Salt: Balances out and accentuates some of the sweet flavors.
- Cinnamon: Adds warm, slightly spicy sweetness. It enhances richness.
- Nutmeg: Brings a deeper, earthy warmth.
- Eggs: Room temperature is always recommended.
- Vegetable Oil: Makes the cake super moist.
- Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the cake and also helps with structure by trapping air when creamed with butter or eggs, giving the cake lift and tenderness.
- Brown Sugar: Using both kinds of sugar gives this cake a more complex and rich sweetness.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances overall flavor.
- Fresh Zucchini: Adding zucchini to baked goods makes them moist.
- Walnuts: Pecans can also be used.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: All you need to make your own frosting is cream cheese, unsalted butter, and powdered sugar!
