Zucchini Cake A Taste of Vegetarian Cookbook

[cookie1]

I made this the other day and we really enjoyed it. It has a lovely flavour. I made it in a 20cm round tin.
Tweaks
The walnuts were to be chopped for 15 seconds, this turned them into walnut butter. I liked the idea but if you wanted pieces of walnut you would need to do less time.
I chopped the dates for only 5 seconds as I wanted pieces of date in the mix.

Gosh I can't ever remember seeing this recipe before.  I am going to dig out my book tonight and have a look.  Thanks for the great review.

I made this today and it is deeeeelicious    Didn't change a thing and it was ok, but as cookie1 said if you like to have a bit of crunch with your walnuts and dates etc. do as she said.  I like the texture as is, plus the teens are fussy and possibly wouldn't eat bits 

Bumping this recipe review up as we all are probably wondering what to do with our zucchinis atm that our gardens are producing

I made this with pecan instead of walnut and cut down sugar to 95gr.  Enjoyed by all.

Thanks for the reminder about this one. ..our zucchinis are about to take off so this will be a handy recipe

Yummy! But very sweet (although I rarely cook/eat cakes so most things are sweet for me), I think the raw sugar/date combination does it. Like Cookie, next time I might not blitz the walnuts for quite so long.
I liked that it used a reasonable amount of zucchini (210g) particularly as I have A LOT of it at the moment
I made it in a small bundt tin and the cake had a chunky but light crumb. I intend to freeze it in portions.
Sorry the picture is quite dark, it looked fine on my phone!

After reading the reviews I made this one earlier in the week.  We all really enjoyed it.  My DS wasn't initially keen because he saw a fleck of green in it ("what is Mummy feeding me now!!!"), but the yummy taste won him over. :-)

I made this today for the latest challenge.

The walnuts were chopped for 15 seconds and became like butter, this seemed like a long time to me and I think next time I will reduce the time.  I also reduced the sugar to 100g ( I do this in most tmx recipes).  I cooked it in a loaf tin instead of a cake tin at the suggested temperature and it took a lot longer to cook, that maybe because of my oven as everything seems to take longer.

All this said we liked the cake and I would make it again.

I thought the same thing about the walnuts mab.
