An Easy Salted Zucchini Cake for Your Picnic or Buffet

An Easy Salted Zucchini Cake for Your Picnic or Buffet

As soon as I saw this salted zucchini cake I knew I’d be preparing it in little time. And so I did.

I love recipes with zucchini (if you have read some other recipes here, you may have already noticed it ;-D), better if easy to prepare and risk free.

I called it zucchini cake because its shape, cut in squares, reminds me the cakes my grandmother prepared. Different flavors, same shape.

I found this recipe on an Italian blog I like so much, Arabafeliceincucina, from where I have already prepared a lot of good and risk free recipes, such as the 15 min coconut truffle or the wonderful flour and butter free banana pancakes.

This salted zucchini cake is pretty easy to prepare. You just have to mix the ingredients and bake it. No worries, no difficulties.

Since now I have eaten it as it is, at room temperature. I believe it may be good also if you warm it or…cold from the fridge. It is a super idea for a picnic, for a lunch to go and for a buffet.

    • Hi Janis, sorry for the delay in answering you. I was trying to understand what it can be called abroad – but I have no answer yet. It is called exactly like this here and so just look for the same kind of yeast/baking powder in your market. Thank you 🙂
