Zucchini cake is a real treat. It is prepared in the same way as ordinary cakes (with cake and cream), however, it differs in that it is not sweet, but salty, as it is made from vegetables.

Instruction manual
1
First, rinse the zucchini thoroughly, cut off the peel if it is harsh. Next, rub these vegetables on a coarse grater. Transfer the mass to a deep bowl, add eggs, flour, salt, pepper to it and mix everything to make a homogeneous mass. The dough for cakes is ready.
2
Preheat the pan, add a little vegetable oil to it (either sunflower seed or refined olive oil is ideal) and bake thin crusts (the dough should be spread in a pan with a spoon and evened out, as its consistency is very thick). As a result, you should get at least six ruddy cakes.
3
Now prepare the cream: grate the cheese on a fine grater, chop the garlic, chop finely finely parsley. Move everything to a deep plate, add mayonnaise and mix thoroughly (mayonnaise can be replaced with low-fat yogurt, in this case the cake will turn out to be less high-calorie).
4
Take a flat plate, put one cake on it and generously coat it with cheese cream. Next, put the next cake and coat it again. Do the same with all the other cakes. As a result, you should get a multi-layer cake. To make it look more festive, it can be decorated with finely chopped herbs, for example, parsley, dill or basil.
5
Before serving, the cake must be kept in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours, so that it cools and soaks in the sharp aroma of garlic.
Useful advice
For the preparation of the cake, it is better to take small zucchini, as their peel is softer and will not have to be cut.
