Cooking zucchini cake. Zucchini snack cake (5 recipes)

Summer is the time when the last thing you want to do is stand at the stove for a long time. That's why I use quick recipes that don't take much time. And one of these recipes is zucchini cake with cheese and mayonnaise. I make this snack in the form of a cake, for which I don’t fry separate cake layers with flour, but I make the preparation much easier by simply baking zucchini circles, and then “assembling” the cake itself from them. It seems to me that this is not only faster, but also much more useful.

Despite the simplicity of preparation, this zucchini cake turns out quickly and tasty. Of course, cheese, garlic and mayonnaise go well with baked zucchini. Let's cook? 🙂

Ingredients:

• Zucchini – 2-3 pcs.
• or from - 4-5 tbsp.
• Garlic – 3-5 cloves
• Dill - a couple of sprigs
• Cheese – 200 g
• Salt - to taste

Zucchini appetizer with mayonnaise and cheese

I cut the zucchini into circles about 0.5 cm thick.

Grease a baking tray with a little oil and lay out the mugs. I got 3 layers - I added salt to each of them.

I put a baking sheet in the oven and baked the mugs for half an hour at 180.

In general, such baked zucchini can be used not only for cake, but you can make a salad with them, you can add them to soup, or you can eat them just like that - without anything.

When the zucchini was baked, I placed the mugs on a plate in a single layer. I made a small cake for two, but you can make a larger one, depending on the number of eaters. 🙂

I smeared a layer of zucchini with mayonnaise.

I grated the cheese and squeezed the garlic through a press.

I repeated: a layer of zucchini.

Then mayonnaise, cheese, garlic.

And again she put the products in the same order. The number of layers is unlimited, whatever height you want the cake to be, lay it out that way. I laid out all the circles that were in the pan, not counting those that were eaten during the process of assembling the cake - they are very tasty on their own.

The last layer was sprinkled with cheese and chopped dill.

That's all, a simple, quick and delicious zucchini cake with cheese is ready!

Zucchini cake can be classified as a main course and appetizer. This is a nutritious, satisfying and colorful delicacy. The ingredient composition may vary. The material will be aimed at demonstrating a large number of fillings.

A classic recipe for zucchini cake is the version with tomatoes.

Zucchini cake - what to take for cooking:

• five young zucchini;
• 3 eggs;
• 6 tomatoes;
• 150 g flour;
• 200 ml mayonnaise;
• 4 cloves of garlic;
• to taste we take herbs (dill, parsley), spices (salt, pepper);
• oil for frying squash cakes.

Read on to learn how to make a simple zucchini cake:

1. We wash, peel, and chop the zucchini, preferably young ones, using a coarse grater. Lightly add salt and wait 15 minutes. The last manipulation will remove excess liquid from the zucchini.
2. In order not to waste time, let's spend it preparing the tomatoes and garlic dressing. Cut the tomatoes into thin, neat circles. We make garlic dressing using mayonnaise and garlic pressed through a press.
3. Next, place the zucchini in a colander and, squeezing the mass with your hands, remove excess liquid.
4. After completing the spin cycle, break the eggs into the squash mixture, add chopped herbs and spices. And, having mixed well, we move on to the next step: adding the adhesive base - flour.
5. Don't worry if, after adding all the flour, your dough still hasn't reached the ideal consistency of pancakes. We remember that we cook with zucchini, and they may require more flour depending on humidity. In order not to worry about the possibility of destruction of the zucchini cakes, add a little starch. It will hold the dough together and allow you to easily flip the pancakes.
6. The dough is ready. All that remains is to place it on a greased and hot frying pan, spreading it over the surface with a regular tablespoon.
7. Zucchini pancakes are prepared in the same way as regular pancakes - until fully cooked and on both sides. In this case, the cooking time will be a little longer, since our pancakes should be denser and thicker.
8. After frying all the shortcakes, place them on a paper towel and wait to cool.
9. The cakes have cooled, the tomatoes have been sliced, and the garlic dressing has been waiting for its time, so let’s start assembling the zucchini pancake cake:

• First coat each zucchini pancake with garlic dressing. For perfect taste, we recommend taking a sample from the cakes - cutting off a small piece. If the amount of spices is not enough, then supplement it with cream.
• Place tomatoes on top of the dressing.

If desired, lightly sprinkle everything with chopped herbs, let the cake soak a little, and we can safely enjoy its amazing taste.

2. To avoid the appearance of an unpleasant film, fry the minced meat a little, then combine it with rice that has already been half-cooked. Lightly salt and pepper – remember that other components will also be seasoned, so don’t overdo it.
3. Cut the tomatoes into circles.
4. Now attention! According to this recipe, zucchini must be cut into slices - thin strips. It is convenient to use a vegetable peeler for this. The thickness of each slice is about 2-3 mm. The leaves should bend well.
5. Place the zucchini in an overlapping baking dish. We leave one edge free - we will use it to cover our dish from above. Season with salt and pepper so that the zucchini does not turn out bland.
6. Place minced meat and rice in the middle.
7. Now it's zucchini again. For the middle layer, the slices can be halved in length.
8. Place fried onions and mushrooms on the zucchini.
9. Next are the tomatoes.
10. Coat everything with sour cream. If desired, you can supplement the recipe with cheese.
11. We connect the free edges of the lower zucchini so that we get a cocoon with an internal filling of minced meat, mushrooms with onions and tomatoes. If there is a gap in the middle: close it with tomatoes.

Preparing the base for the cakes

How to make a zucchini cake? First you need to make a vegetable base. To do this, wash young and tender zucchini thoroughly, cut off the ends, and then grate it on a coarse grater. If you are using already ripe vegetables, then all the peels should be removed from them.

After the zucchini is chopped, place them in a deep bowl, and then add chicken eggs one by one. After peppering and salting the ingredients, mix them thoroughly.

Having received a homogeneous zucchini mass, snow-white flour is gradually added to it.

Heat treatment of cakes

To make the vegetable zucchini cake as juicy and tender as possible, the dough for the cakes should not be very thick (about the same as for sweet pancakes).

To prepare such products, it is advisable to use a large-diameter cast-iron frying pan. It is heated very hot on the fire along with vegetable oil, and then the first pancake is laid out. It is evenly distributed over the bottom of the dish and fried until reddened on both sides.

All other products are prepared exactly the same way. At the end you should get about 7-8 thin vegetable pancakes.

• high fat mayonnaise - 80 g;
• thick sour cream - 100 g;
• table salt - a little, to taste.

Preparing the cream and filling

Zucchini cake with melted cheese turns out very tasty and nutritious. To prepare the filling for it, fresh and firm tomatoes are thoroughly washed and blanched.

To do this, process cheese and garlic cloves are grated on a fine grater, and then chopped dill, high-fat mayonnaise and table salt are added to them. By mixing the ingredients, you get a very aromatic cream of uniform consistency.

How to form correctly?

The zucchini cake should be formed on a flat dish. Place one vegetable cake on it, and then grease it with a small amount of garlic cream and lay out tomato slices. After this, the product is again covered with a zucchini pancake and the same steps described are carried out.

In addition to the ingredients for the base, zucchini cake with mushrooms requires the use of the following components:

• high fat mayonnaise - 180 g;
• garlic cloves - 2 large pieces;
• dill greens - several sprigs;
• green onions - several feathers;
• thick sour cream - 40 g;
• fresh mushrooms (you can use oyster mushrooms or champignons) - about 400 g;
• large carrots - 2 pcs.;
• vegetable oil - approximately 55 ml;
• onion - two medium heads;
• table salt - to taste.

Preparing the filling and cream

Before you make the zucchini cake, you should make the filling for it. Fresh oyster mushrooms or champignons are thoroughly washed and finely cut into strips. Also chop onions separately and grate juicy carrots.

After preparing the ingredients, heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan and then add the mushrooms. After evaporating all excess moisture from the product, it is fried for about 10 minutes. Next, add onions and grated carrots to the mushrooms.

After salting and peppering the ingredients, they are fried until reddened and completely soft. This process may take you approximately 20-30 minutes.

As for the cream for the zucchini cake, it is quite simple to prepare. Garlic cloves are grated on a small grater, and then chopped dill and green onions are added to them. After salting the ingredients, they are flavored with sour cream and full-fat mayonnaise.

By mixing all the ingredients, you get a very aromatic and delicate sauce.

We form the vegetable product and serve it to the table

After all the components have been processed, proceed to the actual formation of the zucchini cake. To do this, use wide and flat dishes. The first pancake is placed in it, and then greased with garlic sauce and some fried mushrooms with onions and carrots are laid out. Having covered the ingredients with the second cake, perform the same actions with it.

Once all the ingredients are placed on the plate, you should have a fairly tall and firm zucchini cake. You can decorate it at your own discretion. Some people sprinkle the product with chopped green onions or dill, while others cover it with fried mushrooms or a mayonnaise mesh.

As soon as the vegetable cake is formed, it is immediately served to the table. Although some housewives temporarily place it in the refrigerator. In their opinion, such aging helps to obtain a juicier and more tender product. It can be served as a complete lunch (warm or hot) or as a tasty and aromatic snack (after pre-cooling). Bon appetit!
