How to Make Zucchini Almond Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the grated zucchini and almond extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the zucchini mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, you can frost with your favorite glaze (optional).
