Light Zucchini Cake: Here’s How to Prepare It

The first step to prepare our light zucchini cake is to slice the zucchini into very thin rounds after washing them thoroughly and trimming the ends. Then, in a large bowl, we need to combine the 2 eggs and the 100 grams of ricotta with a blender, making sure to obtain a smooth cream. To this, we will add a packet of yeast for savoury preparations, a bit of salt, and the flour, always mixing with electric whisks. When the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy, we will need to add the sliced zucchini and mix with a spoon, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Baking

With a damp and wrung piece of baking paper, we need to line a 24 cm cake tin. There we will pour the batter of our light zucchini cake, making sure to level it once it is completely transferred. At this point, we should cover it with grated cheese of your choice. Once this is done, we can bake the cake tin at 180° for 30-35 minutes. Once cooked, we must let our dessert cool down before unmoulding it and serving it on a serving plate. The quantities of this batter guarantee 8 portions. Now all that’s left is to taste your light zucchini cake!
