Zucchini Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Grate 2 zucchini and reserve 2 whole for another use. Put the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze well to remove the excess water.
• In a large bowl combine the zucchini, baking mix, onion, eggs and garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well to thoroughly combine.
• Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measure drop about 6 to 8 portions of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Fry on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper lined sheet pan.
• In a small bowl mix together the sour cream and parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the zucchini cakes on a serving platter and serve with the sour cream.
• In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry knife or fork until the mixture is well blended.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pecans, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. In another bowl, whisk together the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs and stir in the grated zucchini. Fold this into the dry ingredients. The batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little more milk.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and the cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add the milk if necessary.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake. Garnish with chopped pecans.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, white sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• In another bowl, beat eggs, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla together. Pour into egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix well. Stir in the shredded zucchini. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted into each layer comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
• To Make Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the confectioner's sugar, a little at a time, and beat until smooth. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Spread between cake layers and stack to make a 3-layer cake.

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the zucchini, then shred them into a colander, using the large holes of a box grater. (You'll need about 4 cups shredded zucchini.)
• Sprinkle the zucchini shreds with salt, toss well and set in the sink for 15 minutes to drain.
• Rinse the zucchini shreds under cool water in the colander. Then pick up handfuls and squeeze them over the sink to get rid of almost all of the moisture. Set the shreds in a large bowl.
• Grate the onion into the bowl using the large holes of the box grater.
• Stir in the ricotta, whole-wheat flour, egg, paprika, dill and pepper, just until the mixture is uniform and there are no streaks of dry flour anywhere.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the oil, then use a 1/2-cup measuring cup to scoop up the zucchini mixture and plop it into the skillet, scraping out any mixture left in the cup. Flatten the mixture into a thick cake with the bottom of the cup and continue making more.
• Cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes, then turn them with a large spatula and continue cooking until lightly browned on the other side and a little firm to the touch, about 4 more minutes. If you can't fit all six into your skillet, you'll need a little more oil for the second batch.

Steps:
