Carrot and Zucchini Cake are moist, perfectly sweet, and one of my favorite snack cakes. They taste amazing and are a great way to sneak vegetables into a yummy treat! Top with honey-sweetened cream cheese and edible candy carrots for a dessert recipe that looks as incredible as it tastes.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Walnuts, extra
1 Lemon, zested, juiced
1 cup Icing sugar mixture
50 g Butter, softened
250 g Cream cheese, at room temperature
4 Australian free range eggs, lightly whisked
1 cup Vegetable or canola oil
1/2 tsp. Ground nutmeg
2 tsp. Ground cinnamon
1/2 cup Coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup Coarsely grated carrot
1 cup Coarsely grated zucchini
1 1/2 cups Brown sugar
2 cups Self-raising flour

Method

01

Preheat oven to 180°F. Grease and line base and sides of a 10cm x 22cm loaf pan with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang. Combine flour, brown sugar, zucchini, carrot, walnut, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl. Whisk the oil and egg in a small bowl.
02

Add to the flour mixture. Stir to combine. Pour into prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
03

Set aside in the pan for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add icing sugar and lemon juice. Beat until well combined.
04

Place the cake on a serving plate. Top with cream cheese icing. Sprinkle with lemon zest and extra walnuts.
