Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup rice flour
1 1/4 cups white bean flour
2 teaspoons xanthan gum
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons orange peel, grated
2 cups zucchini, grated
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup water
1 cup walnuts, pieces

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325F and grease/flour a tube pan or loaf pan (I like to use cocoa to "flour" the cake pan).
Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar; add eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract, orange peel and zucchini.
Stir in the flour mixture and milk (or water) alternately; add nuts and stir.
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for approximately 1-1/2 hours; leave to cool in oven with door open for 30 minutes.
Turn out of pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
