The One Vegetable You Need To Add For Ultra Moist Carrot Cake
BY SARA KLIMEK
One of the best aspects of carrot cake is its flexibility, allowing you to easily swap ingredients in and out. However, one of the tastiest substitutes is zucchini.
This vegetable is a great functional addition because it will add a ton of extra moisture to your cake, along with extra nutrients. Adding zucchini to your recipe is also simple.
You’ll want to shred down the vegetable as much as possible; otherwise, its large, coarse chunks will release too much moisture and prevent a balanced mouthful.
Once your zucchini has been grated, stir it into the batter with your carrots. Since zucchini has a relatively neutral flavor, it won’t upset the balance of the other flavors.
