Zucchini Cake with Carrots and Onion

60 min4 serv.21 февр. 2026 г.

Description

A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Some cooks also add mayonnaise to the layers of the “cake.” That will make your cake tastier, but also significantly more caloric—your choice! I like a hearty meal, but this version is filling enough for me too, since both the vegetables and the layers are fried in vegetable oil. Give it a try and share your impressions—I’d appreciate photos! Good luck. Serve with fresh herbs and sauce.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare the ingredients. Clean and wash the vegetables under running water. Let's begin!

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    Slice the onion into half-moons and add it to heated vegetable oil. Add a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Step 3

    Grate the carrots on the coarse side of a grater (or preferably a box grater) and add them to the onion. Sauté the vegetables until fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Step 4

    The cake filling is ready. Let it cool.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Step 5

    Prepare the "dough" for the layers. Grate the zucchini on a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Add a raw egg and mix. Season with salt. If the eggs are small, use two.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Add the flour mixed with baking powder, add black pepper, and mix the dough thoroughly.

  7. 7

    Step 7

    Step 7

    The dough is ready; it is thick enough. If your skillet is 17–18 cm in diameter, divide it visually into 5 portions.

  8. 8

    Step 8

    Step 8

    Brush the heated skillet with a silicone brush and spread 2–3 tablespoons of batter. Try to spread the batter evenly so the pancake is the same thickness throughout—I do this with the back of a spoon. Cook until golden brown. Keep the heat low and do not cover with a lid!

  9. 9

    Step 9

    Step 9

    Flip the crepe with a spatula and fry it on the other side. Do the same with all the batter. My 5 crepes are ready. Let’s move on to assembling the cake.

  10. 10

    Step 10

    Step 10

    Place a zucchini pancake on a plate. Spread some of the filling on top.

  11. 11

    Step 11

    Step 11

    Cover with a second pancake, spread the filling again. Continue in this way until you run out of pancakes and filling.

  12. 12

    Step 12

    Step 12

    Decorate the cake as you like; I simply spread it with mayonnaise and added berries. After 30 minutes, the cake can be served. But it will taste even better the next day!

  13. 13

    Step 13

    Step 13

    Serve immediately or slightly chilled.
