Step 1

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the zucchini ends and grate it with a box grater or food processor. Take one heaping cup of courgette. You don't need to drain courgette before adding it to batter. Put it in as is. 

Step 2

Mix almond flour, tapioca flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt in a large bowl. Eggs and melted coconut oil (or butter) should be mixed well in a bowl. 

Step 3

Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until a thick batter forms. Thick cake batter. This is normal. 

Step 4

Stir shredded zucchini into batter until evenly distributed. Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan. Mix the cinnamon topping ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. 

Step 5

Sprinkle topping on cake batter. Bake the cake pan on the centre rack for 30 minutes under aluminium foil.  

Step 6

Remove the foil and bake the zucchini cake for 20–30 minutes until golden brown on the edges and clean in the centre. 

Step 7

Cakes are done when they reach 190–200 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure doneness, use an instant read thermometer or meat thermometer.  

Step 8

Let the zucchini crumb cake cool for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
