Zucchini Bundt Cake With Crunchy Lemon Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a 10 cup (2.5l) bundt or tube cake pan* with non-stick spray or butter, dust with flour, then tap out any excess. 2. Pulse the nuts in a food processor until finely chopped. 3. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside. 4. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, 1 3/4 cup (350g) sugar, and olive oil for 3 minutes on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the mixer, then add the vanilla. 5. Mix in the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the mixer bowl to make sure everything is mixed in well, then beat on medium speed for 30 seconds. 6. Stir in the chopped nuts and zucchini. 7. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan, smooth the top, then bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake has begun to pull away from the sides of the pan. 8. During the last few minutes of the cake baking, make the glaze by whisking together the lemon juice, 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. 9. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a cooling rack. Brush the glaze over the cake with a pastry brush and let the cake cool completely. Storage: The cake can be wrapped (or put under a cake dome) and will keep for a few days. You can freeze the unglazed cake. However to apply the glaze, you’ll need to defrost the cake then warm it so the glaze will adhere properly. *If you don’t have a bundt or tube pan, I noticed that both Adam and Sara made the cake in a regular round cake pan with good results. This cake batter could also be baked in two loaf pans, which is easier for gift-giving, if you’re trying to share your zucchini bounty. You may need to reduce the baking time a little to compensate for the smaller pans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine eggs, sugar, oil, lemon juice, zest; beat well.
• Add zucchini and mix well.
• Sift the dry ingredients into small bowl.
• Mix dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture.
• Fold in nuts.
• Pour into a greased 9" by 13" pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done.
• Cool and dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Combine first 7 ingredients.
• Add zucchini& nuts& toss lightly.
• In a separate bowl, beat oil and sugar; add one egg at a time, beating until creamy and smooth.
• Add crumbs& zucchine mixture; beat& blend well.
• Pour into a greased 10" bundt pan or a large tube pan.
• Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cake tests done.
• Remove from pan; cool and glaze.
• Glaze: Cream butter; add icing sugar and lemon juice; beat until smooth.
• Drizzle over cooled cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Brush a 6-cup Bundt pan with butter, and dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, spices, and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then squeeze dry in a clean kitchen towel or press in a ricer. (You will need 2 1/2 cups.)
• Stir together eggs and sugar, then stir in melted butter, zucchini, and orange zest and juice. Stir in flour mixture. Transfer batter to pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour (cake will rise quite a bit over the top of the pan but should not run over). Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cake cool for 10 minutes. Run a paring knife around edges of cake to loosen, and turn out onto wire rack. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Brush several layers of orange glaze evenly over cake, and garnish with candied zucchini before serving.
