Zucchini Crumb Cake
Ingredients
- Flour½ cups + 1
- Brown sugar0.83 cups
- Cinnamon · ground2 tsp
- Butter · melted¾ cups
- Baking powder1 tsp
- Baking soda½ tsp
- Salt½ tsp
- Nutmeg · ground¼ tsp
- Sugar⅓ cups
- Egg1
- Vanilla1
- Zucchini · shredded1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease an 8- or 9-inch square or round pan, springform pan or pie dish, or line it with parchment. Set aside.
- Mix the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon with a fork in a small bowl. Stir in the melted butter until it forms flour-y crumbles, without overmixing. Refrigerate while you make the batter.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla, then whisk in the shredded zucchini.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until combined. The batter will be thick.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over it.
- Bake for 35-38 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out mostly clean with no wet batter (a few moist crumbs are fine). If the top browns too fast, loosely cover it with foil.
- Set the cake on a wire rack and let it cool slightly for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle with vanilla icing while still warm if you like.
- Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
