...Chocolate Zucchini Cake - Gluten Free & Vegan<br />Author: Teesa the Domestic Diva<br />Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 25 mins Total time: 35 mins<br />Serves: 12<br /> <br />Ingredients<br />1 cup palm sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar (I sub half with liquid stevia equivalent)<br />⅓ cup oil ( I use melted coconut oil)<br />2 teaspoons vanilla extract<br />½ cup gluten free oat flour (for oat free replace with sorghum or millet, or a combo of the two)<br />½ cup tapioca flour<br />½ cup brown rice flour<br />½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy!)<br />1½ teaspoons baking soda<br />1 teaspoon salt<br />1 teaspoon guar gum<br />2 cups shredded zucchini, packed *Tip - if you have any veggie-phobes in your household, you could puree the zucchini in a food processor so it is not detectable.<br />Frosting:<br />6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted if lumpy)<br />¼ cup allowed butter<br />2 cups corn-free powdered sugar ( I would try this with powdered palm sugar next time!)<br />¼ cup any milk<br />½ teaspoon vanilla extract<br />Instructions<br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan.<br />In a large bowl, mix together the oil, sugars, and vanilla.<br />Add in the remaining ingredients minus zucchini. Stir vigorously to combine well: mixture will be dry and crumbly.<br />Stir in the zucchini. The moisture from the zukes should bring the whole batter together like a typical brownie/cake batter on the thick side.<br />Pour/coax into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. I had to bake mine a little extra, the moisture content of your zucchinis will drive this.<br />Let cool for about 10 minutes and then invert on a cooling rack. At this point you can make the frosting for the cake.<br />In a microwave safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter/margarine.<br />Remove and mix in the cocoa powder, then the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05578563516887491901noreply@blogger.com
