Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped mint leaves. Stir until well mixed.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil and eggs until smooth. Add this mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the batter.
  • Substitute the feta cheese with goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
