BEST EVER CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE



Best Ever Chocolate Zucchini Cake image

I've been making this recipe for ions now. It was a collaboration between myself and a friend about 25 years ago. I haven't found one I like better. I hope you will agree. These loaves also freeze very well. Note: You could try using applesauce for some or all of the oil in order to reduce the fat content. However....I haven't tried it myself.

GRANDMA'S ZUCCHINI CAKE



Grandma's Zucchini Cake image

My grandmother's recipe for a gently spicy sheet cake, made with freshly grated zucchini.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Dessert     Baking     Cake     Sheet Cake     Zucchini

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cake:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon (can sub 1 teaspoon with other spices such as allspice and nutmeg, go easy on the cloves though)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs
2 cups white, granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (optional, my addition)
2 cups (from about 3-4 regular sized zucchini) grated un-peeled zucchini (place grated zucchini in a sieve and press out some of the excess moisture before measuring)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (my grandmother recommends black walnuts)
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
Frosting:
3 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature (Philadelphia cream cheese recommended)
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 1/2 to 2 cups of powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x12 or 9x13 baking pan (I used a pyrex pan).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a mixer, beat the 3 eggs on high speed until frothy. Lower the speed and beat in the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla, and lemon zest (if using). Stir in the flour mixture, a third at a time. Stir in the zucchini and chopped nuts and/or raisins.
  • Pour mixture into a 9x12 or 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes. (My grandmother's notes say you can also bake in an angel food pan for 1 hour.) Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting. (While the cake is cooling, let the frosting's cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature to soften.)
