An Unusual Cake

Preparation

An unusual and very delicious cake... slightly moist and packed with nuts and dried fruit. No one would ever guess that this cake is made with zucchini! Its flavor is reminiscent of apple pie, and its color of honey cake.

Beat the eggs with a mixer on high speed, gradually adding the sugar and pouring in the vegetable oil. Beat for 3-4 minutes.

Add the peeled, diced zucchini, vanilla sugar, and rum essence, and mix thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture. Add the chopped dried apricots and nuts, and mix until evenly combined.

Transfer the prepared batter to a greased pan and bake for approximately 1 hour at 180 ºC.

Serve hot.

Enjoy your meal!
