Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, baking soda, and salt. This is your dry ingredient mixture for the zucchini spice cake.
- In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini. Ensure the zucchini is evenly distributed throughout the batter for a perfect zucchini spice cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or raisins to the batter.
- Ensure your zucchini is well-drained after grating to prevent a soggy cake.
- This zucchini spice cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
