Cake aux Courgettes - Savory Zucchini Loaf

Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 2 Loaves

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups zucchini shredded
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/2 cup gruyère sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and lightly flour a loaf pan.

  2. Grate the zucchini. Using a strainer, squeeze excess moisture from the zucchini. Overly wet zucchini may weigh down the loaves. 

  3. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and herbs in a large bowl. 

  4. Crack the eggs in a medium bowl and whisk for about 2 minutes, until they’re light and fluffy. Whisk in the milk and olive oil.

  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough comes together. Don't over mix or the dough will be tough. Add the feta cheese, basil (or other herbs), and zucchini.

  6. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Let the loaf sit for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Slice and serve. For storing, the loaf will keep best in the fridge.
