August 2007   Orange Zucchini Cake

We know you probably have the same problem this time of year that we do- too many zucchinis!  This is a party favorite.  It's a great way to use up some of those extra zuchs, and it's easy and delicious.

Cake:

3 eggs

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons orange zest

1 teaspoon orange extract

2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups zucchini grated

2 1/2 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

Beat eggs, oil and sugar together.  Add flavorings and zucchini mix.  Mix dry ingredients together and add them to the wet ingredients; mix until blended.  Pour the mixture into a greased bundt pan.  Bake at 350º for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean.  Remove from cake pan and cool. 

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate

milk

Mix sugar, orange zest  and juice.  Add milk to make the mixture a glaze consistency.  Drizzle over cooked cake.  Serve.

The cake freezes well.
