This zucchini cake recipe is from my grandmother--she used to pass the zucchini through a meat mincer because they had no food processor. The zucchini cake keeps well wrapped in aluminum foil in the refrigerator and can also be frozen.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • 4 cups grated zucchini
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 0.75 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.75 cups ground walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • confectioners' sugar , or to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large loaf pan with butter.

  2. 2

    Stir zucchini, sugar, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Combine flour, walnuts, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into zucchini mixture until combined. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. 4

    Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 80 minutes. Let cool in the pan, about 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
