But not everyone has the luck of a private garden with vegetable garden to the Zucchini-growing 😉 to enter . All others can purchase the popular summer vegetables from July to October, at the weekly markets or in the Vegetable section of the supermarket, from local producers. From Zucchini, you can conjure up very many Treats, and don't have to always come from the Mediterranean cuisine.
ZUCCHINI IS SO VERSATILE
Zucchini is, in fact, just as the carrot is excellent for baking. The Zucchini cake is the small Back-colleague from Carrots cake, so carrot cake. In the preparation of the two are similar and also in the opportunities for modification, you do nothing. The Zucchini is very low in calories and particularly rich in potassium, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.

SUMMER ZUCCHINI CAKE WITH ALMONDS AND LIME TO MATCH
I've refined my Zucchini cake with ground almonds and the abrasion of a lime. The lime gives the cake a light, very aromatic, stands out but is dominant and the fine almonds give it a nice consistency.
Also, I have not overdone it with the sugar and brown instead of white sugar used. The Zucchini cake is not as sweet. You should include more of the "Sweet", then I recommend that You simply 50 g to use more sugar, or white sugar and switching.
