gluten-free zucchini almond cake
Ingredients
Cake
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for pan
1 1/2 cups almond flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons potato starch (spooned and leveled)
1 1/4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup finely grated zucchini (from 1 medium zucchini), squeezed of excess liquid
Frosting
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
Cook's Notes
Shopping TipsLook for almond flour (also called almond meal) in the baking aisle. To keep it fresh, freeze in an airtight container for up to 1 year. Pure vanilla extract is always gluten-free, but check your baking powder: Brands made with corn or potato starch are okay, but those that use wheat starch are not.
Variations
When Martha made this cake on “Martha Bakes,” she doubled the batter ingredients and tripled the frosting ingredients to make a two-layer cake.

Ingredients
Ingredients
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus room-temperature butter for pan
1 1/2 cups almond flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons potato starch (spooned and leveled)
1 1/4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup finely grated zucchini (from 1 medium zucchini), squeezed of excess liquid
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
Directions
Cake:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch round, 2-inch deep cake pan. Line bottom with parchment round; butter paper. In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt.
Set a large heatproof bowl over (not in) a pot with 1 inch barely simmering water. Add eggs and whisk until foamy, about 1 minute. Whisk in brown sugar and continue to whisk until mixture is fluffy and sugar is dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove bowl from pot and, using a mixer, whisk on high until mixture is pale, thick, and cool to touch, 7 to 10 minutes.
With a flexible spatula, gently fold in melted butter, flour mixture, vanilla, and zucchini. Pour into pan and bake, rotating pan halfway through, until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Invert onto a serving platter.
Frosting:With mixer, beat together butter, vanilla, and cream cheese on medium-high until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar and beat until combined. Spread on top of cake. (Cake can be refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days.)

The recipe on the video calls for 5 tbls of butter, not 4.. also the video refers you to a very different cream cheese recipe at martha stewart.. Haven't thf frosting yet, but I question why the differences in recipes!

This is not the recipe from Martha Bakes episode 812. A shame but it seems Martha would rather have you buy her book but, beware here too. The book recipe is not the one on the episode either :(

Off the top of your head, is this low in carbs?

Num num! You'll be glad you made this! And also, I made it with plain AP flour because I didn't have the potato (I'm not GF), and I used white sugar. Also added some almond extract instead of vanilla. I think that was the best idea. Beware. This was a weird cake to bake. I felt funny about it (you'll see what I mean when you make it) but it turned out great, and took exactly the amount of time the recipe stated.

Well written - recipe works exactly as stated- not always true. My guests declared it to be the best gluten free dessert they had ever eaten. It is so good I will make it again and I have no gluten issues.

Unbelievably good! Made this as a cupcake and served it at the mayor's taste of town event and no one knew it was gluten free. We make them all the time and freeze the extras. Just take out a few minutes before serving to warm to room temp. Freezes very well.
