Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, lemon zest, and melted coconut oil. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then fold them gently into the zucchini mixture.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant touch.

Chef’s Tips

  • Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini to avoid a soggy cake.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
  • Feel free to substitute different citrus zests, like orange or lime, for a unique twist.
