We have always tried to have healthy cakes or muffins for the children for their birthdays. I happened to have a wonderful recipe for zucchini bread and my son wanted a cake in this train pan, so I combined the two and it was delicious. The whole cake was gone within a day.
Here is the recipe!
Zucchini Bread Cake
Grease and flour your pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 1/4 cups white sugar
Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Add to the mixture:
- 3 eggs
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup vegetable or olive oil
Stir them, then add:
- 2 cups zucchini
Stir everything together, then pour the batter into the pan.
Bake 40-70 minutes or until done. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove from the pan. Eat when it is cool enough!
This looks so good. I have never tried a zucchini cake, in fear that my kids wouldn't eat it, but you have me convinced. :-) I am featuring you this week at "Try a New Recipe Tuesday." Be sure to stop by and grab an "I've been featured" button from my sidebar for your blog. The post should go live early Monday afternoon. I hope you will be able to join us again this week. :-)
