Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil (you can also use a nut oil (I love walnut oil)
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg, more if you love it
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups all purpose flour, remember to fluff it first, then scoop, then level for an accurate measurement.
- 4 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and diced (do not peel)
- 1 1/2 cup rough chopped walnuts
glaze
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- milk or cream to thin, several tablespoons
- freshly grated nutmeg
garnish
- chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F Spray a nonstick bundt pan with cooking spray, or lightly butter and flour the pan, tapping off any excess flour.
- In a very large bowl whisk the eggs, sugar, and oil together. Blend in the spices, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold in the flour, then zucchini, apple, and walnuts. Turn into the bundt pan and smooth out if necessary.
- Bake for 60 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it (moist crumbs are fine.)
- Let cool 10 minutes, then loosen the cake around all edges with a blunt knife, and invert onto a platter or cooling rack. Let cool completely before glazing.
- To make the glaze, whisk the sugar with enough milk or cream to make a pourable glaze. Start with 3 Tbsp and work up from there. Add freshly grated nutmeg to taste.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and top with a dusting of crushed walnuts.
