I like the creaminess with this cake, so I’ll add in a bit of milk, or some of the pineapple juice. If you want the frosting on the stiffer side, just don’t add the extra liquid.TIPS AND TRICKS*The first time I made this cake, the batter was really runny. But other times it will be thicker. It all depends on your zucchini. If you have a large zucchini, you may need to scoop the seeds out. If you have small zucchini, I just leave the seeds in. I don’t usually let the zucchini drain, but you can do that as well if you are worried about too much moisture.*I do drain the pineapple, though. Save the pineapple juice for if you need to thin out the frosting. It gives great flavor!*This zucchini cake does need to be stored in the refrigerator if you aren’t going to be eating it right away, or if you have extras. It is actually my favorite to have a cold slice out of the refrigerator, though!*If you want to freeze this cake, it will work best if you do it before you frost the cake.More Zucchini RecipesSubscribe to my free recipe newsletter to get new family friendly recipes in your inbox each week!
