Zucchini Lime Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert that blends the fresh zest of lime with the subtle earthiness of grated zucchini. Originating from the inventive use of garden vegetables in baking, this cake often features ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, oil, shredded zucchini, lime juice, and zest, with optional add-ins like nuts or frosting for added texture and sweetness. While traditionally part of American home-baking culture, it offers a creative twist suitable for any cuisine. The inclusion of zucchini brings moisture and a boost of vitamins A and C, along with fiber, making it a sneaky way to incorporate vegetables into a sweet treat. However, like most cakes, it may be high in sugar and fat depending on the recipe. For a healthier version, consider using whole-grain flour, reducing sugar, or swapping oil for yogurt. Perfect as a dessert or snack, it's a delicious balance of indulgence and nourishment.
