Instructions
To make the cake
- Sift flour into large mixing bowl (we used a pre-made gluten free baking flour to save time). Add baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and whisk together.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine eggs, oil, sugar, vanilla and whisk together to form a batter.
- Pour batter into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir together until combined and you have a thick batter the color of peanut butter.
- Add grated zucchini to your batter and stir in until zucchini is evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into a greased bundt pan (you can use cooking spray or 1 TB butter/flour mixture).
- Bake for 29-32 minutes at 350°F.
- Allow to cake to cool completely before removing from pan.
To make the dairy free glaze:
- Slowly drizzle cashew milk into a medium mixing bowl with powdered sugar, stirring as you go. Adding the milk slowly instead of pouring in all at once helps prevent clumping and makes mixing easier.
- Whisk together cashew milk and powdered sugar until you have a smooth white glaze.
Put it all together:
- Slowly drizzle glaze over cooled cake. Top with with raw pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate chips or chunks — allow glaze to set before cutting and serving.
