Did you drain your zucchini at all? I drained mine, so not sure how that will affect the texture. Also, I made muffins instead of a cake, so hoping I find the correct amount of time to bake. Let me know if you have a suggestion on time for muffins. Thanks!

@jaimetan Год назад

I don’t drain mine but I guess if you have an extra ripe/ wet zucchini that’s drilling then drain it a bit. It should be a little wet but not flooded/ soggy if you know what I mean? I’ve done them as muffins and usually around the same time, but start checking them 5-10min before they’re done just to see co depending on your oven/ altitude etc times may vary from mine. Hope yours turn out well!

Hi First time baking. Tried this last night for first time. The loaf itself rised very well and looks dense however when I cut and eat it feels like not fully done. Feels undercooked. I followed everything except used regular Whole foods 365 stevia. Left it on fridge overnight but it was same consistency. Looked up online and it was mentioned I can cook for another 10-20 min. So this went in for another 20 min in the oven. When I touch and feel it's still not a feeling of completely baked. Not sure what am I missing. Hate to throw it. If there is any idea please share.

@jaimetan 2 года назад

Hello! I’m not sure what happened with your loaf… but the texture of this one isn’t meant to be firm and dense - there’s a lot of courgette in it which makes it light and moist - so it’s a bit more like a moister sponge cake, kind of. Is it soggier than what I have in this video? Perhaps the courgette you used was too large/ wet so the excess water has made the whole loaf soggy? I’m not sure what you could do to rescue it in this case. So I’m afraid maybe this one goes in the bin…? Next time - if the courgette is too wet, you could also put the grated courgette on a tea towel and let the excess water drain for a bit before using it. It’s always a learning experience, hope it goes better next time! 🙌

@smashit002 2 года назад

@@jaimetan thank you. I think you are spot on. I left the bread for 6 hours to cool in room temp after I commented here. Then I tried and it was still moist but definitely not soggy. So I have put it on freezer. Yeah next time I will definitely try with less zucchini. I am diabetic so I tried with very less stevia just 1/2 teaspoon. So may be it being not sweet is also making me eat it. I am surprised there are so many ingredients in this and the tongue is always going towards the sweetness 🤣. Next will try your banana bread. Pumpkin/zhuchini/banana breads with nuts are my favorite in coffee shops. Hopefully one of the recipe clicks so that I don't have to eat that much sugar at coffee shops.

@cindyshanks7141 3 года назад

Not sure where I went wrong, but the cake was not cooked after 50 minutes, after 60 minutes. The flavor is extremely off, maybe like a weird savory flavor, was it the olive oil? I added sugar free Hersey chocolate chips. I looks nice, really huge loaf, but still raw mushy inside and nasty taste. I used half Stevia and half Allulose.

@jaimetan 3 года назад

Really weird that yours wasn’t cooked through! Maybe depending on your oven, you may need to have it going for longer coz a knife going through it should come out clean, not soggy (keep going in 10-minute increments and just use a knife through the middle). And if it’s not sweet enough for you, you may need to add a few more spoonfuls of stevia (I don’t like anything too sweet, eg. I drink my coffee black) - so sweetness can be adjusted to your taste levels. I hope it works out better on your next try! 🙌 PS. Double-checking that the temperature should be 175 Celsius which is 350 Fahrenheit. PPS. If you added sugar-free choc chips, it could’ve also added more bitterness to it, which means you need to balance it with a bit more sweet/stevia too!

What can be a substitute to zucchini?

@jaimetan 2 года назад

This zucchini cacao recipe was adapted from my banana bread recipe in the first place! So I’d use 3 bananas instead? And if you want a regular banana bread, swap out the 1/2 cup cacao with 1/2 cup almond flour (so 2 cups almond flour in total).
