Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup butter, room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 lemon, juice and zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups white sugar
2 cups finely shredded zucchini, excess water squeezed out
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pint fresh blueberries (plus more for decoration)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Spray two round 8" cake pans with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Grate 1 large zucchini (or two medium ones) and place into a clean dish towel. Squeeze until most of the liquid comes out. You should have about 2 cups of shredded zucchini.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, applesauce, vanilla and sugar.
  • Using a rubber spatula carefully fold in the zucchini.
  • In a second medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool for 20 minutes in the pans and then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl and using an electric mixer, beat together the butter, sugar an salt until pale and creamy.
  • Add the lemon juice, zest, and the vanilla and beat for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place a small spoonful of the frosting on the center of a cake plate.
  • Place one cake onto the center of the cake plate, on top of the frosting dollop (this will help keep the cake from sliding off).
  • Spread half of the frosting on the cake (don;t worry about making it pretty, just spread it evenly).
  • Place the other cake on top.
  • Spread the remaining frosting on top, making sure to evenly spread it across.
  • Sprinkle a handful of blueberries on top.
