Summer Baking! Zucchini Bundt Cake, Cream Cheese Icing, Recipe, Easy, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware…Great Way to Eat your Veggies!!
It is the end of July and…have you found any zucchini in your garden the size of a baseball bat? It seem that happens overnight. How can they grow that fast?
Anyway, years ago, my friend, Deveraux, and I thought we were such good gardeners. The zucchini we grew were huge. Little did we know that the smaller zucchini tends to be tender and more flavorful. That came with time and cooking experience for us.
I am not a baker but at times an easy recipe comes along and I make it my own. This is one of them.
Some weeks ago when I bought some zucchini I decided they were too big so I turned them into my old recipe. This recipe is easy, have it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just with a cup of coffee in the p.m.
ZUCCHINI BUNDT CAKE
3 EGGS
1 CUP VEGETABLE OIL
2 CUPS SUGAR
2 CUPS GRATED ZUCCHINI
2 1/2 CUPS FLOUR
1 TSP. BAKING POWDER
3 TSPS. CINNAMON
1 CUP CHOPPED WALNUTS
2 TSPS. BAKING SODA
1 TSP. SALT
2 TSPS. VANILLA
1 SMALL CONTAINER OF SOUR CREAM
Grate zucchini to make 2 cups. Set aside.
Beat eggs lightly. Beat in sugar, gradually, then oil….mix well.
Sift flour with soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Add to egg mixture, alternating with zucchini.
Stir in vanilla, and sour cream.
Add the walnuts. Mix well.
Grease the bundt pan. Pour mixture into pan and bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for between 45 to 60 minutes. Test it with a knife inserted in the middle….came out clean? It’s done!!
Let it cool off and then place on your favorite plate to be frosted.
CREAM CHEESE ICING
1 BLOCK OF CREAM CHEESE – ROOM TEMPERATURE
POWDER SUGAR
Mix powder sugar into the cream cheese and beat until smooth. You may add a bit of lime juice or even some vanilla, if you wish. Spread on the bundt cake.
When I made it a few weeks ago, it got good reviews in my household….I served it with a little spoonful of frosting on the side, as well.
