INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour gives a rich texture and replaces the need for flour in the recipe. It holds the cake together and gives healthy fats that keep your crumbs tender. You may use cashew flour if you want a similar soft texture.
OAT FLOUR:
- Oat flour maintains the texture of the cake and makes your crumb light and fluffy. It gives a mild, sweet taste that works perfectly with lemon. You may use whole wheat pastry flour for a different texture.
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini is the main component that gives moisture. It keeps your cake soft and tender for days. Use grated yellow squash as a different choice.
POWDERED SUGAR-FREE SWEETENER:
- We use it to make a smooth glaze that looks bakery-style. It dissolves easily into lemon juice. You may use regular powdered sugar or blended coconut sugar as per your preference.
SUGAR-FREE SWEETENER:
- It keeps your cake light and maintains the low-calorie dessert. We may utilize coconut sugar as per your choice.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm your oven to 350°F and cover the pan with parchment.
- Grate zucchini and squeeze out extra moisture.
- Combine almond flour, baking soda, salt, oat flour, baking powder, & granulated sugar-free sweetener in a large bowl.
- Then whisk maple syrup, lemon juice, applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and coconut oil in another bowl.
- Now mix both mixtures and gently fold the grated zucchini into it.
- Add the batter into your pan to bake for thirty-five minutes.
- We will mix powdered sugar-free sweetener and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl to make a smooth and creamy glaze.
- Lastly, drizzle the glaze over your cooled cake and chill for 10 minutes.
