Zucchini and Apple Cake topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tbsp. finely grated zucchini (about 1 pc.)
- 1 cup grated peeled green apple (about 1 pc.)
- 1 and 1/4 cups light brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp. plus 0.5 tsp. wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp coarse salt
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. freshly ground nutmeg
- 1.5 cups chopped walnuts
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray 2 (12 x 22 cm) loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pans with parchment paper and lightly spray the paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, apple, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add 3 cups of flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the bowl and mix thoroughly again. Stir the nuts into the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of flour, making sure they don't sink into the mixture. Gently fold the nuts into the batter.
- Divide the batter between the 2 pans. Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
