The countdown to U2 in Toronto is officially on! We’re heading out Wednesday night and I feel like I have a million things to do prior the flight. But stay calm (I keep telling myself) and things will fall into place.
Do I have a post for you today? Well of course I do. This is not just any post, this recipe is brought to you by a “zesty in-law” created for a birthday celebration recently. I am pretty excited to share this recipe with you because I love both zucchini and blueberries… so I knew this was going to be a huge success.
But before we go to far into the cake details, you have to focus on the crumble top. It was so gooooood.
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs lightly beaten
- 3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 Cups White Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 3 Cups shredded zucchini
- 3 Cups All purpose flour
- 1 Tsp. Salt
- 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 Tbsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Pint Fresh Blueberries
- Sprinkle of Nutmeg
Crumb Topping
- 2/3 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 Cup Softened Butter
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
- Lightly grease Bundt Pan
- In large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar.
- Fold in zucchini. Beat in flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Gently fold in blueberries and move to pan
- For the crumb topping, mix the ingredients with your hands and sprinkle over the top of the loaf pan.
- Bake 55 minutes in the preheated oven or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool 20 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack
- ENJOY!
Zesty Tip: Now as you noticed in the title, I called this a cake – which indeed it was. However if you would like to make it in loaf pans and call it “bread” I am fine with that as well.
So, I have to come clean. The night of the birthday I had two really large pieces of this cake with Vanilla ice cream and could not get enough of it. On the way home from the party we were given a big slab to take home. Once home I quickly got into that and had another piece. I am seriously suggesting if you like the ingredients in the above mentioned recipe… you so have to make this cake and tell me about it. I am so confident you will love it! Thanks again zesty in-law! It was delicious.
I hope you have a great Tuesday and keep smiling.
Take care
zesty

Yes, thank you Zesty in-laws for sharing this and making our Zesty so happy that he would share it with us! Love the blueberry and Zuc. together…so moist I bet!
Happy Day to ya!
wow i love zucchini bread and i love blueberries in baked goods, but i would never think of combining the two together–genius! can’t wait to try this
thanks zesty-in-law!
I’m a fan of any baked good that involves veggies
Hi Zesty,
Do you flour the blueberries before? I always hear that’s recommended so they don’t sink, but does that always happen?
WOW – what an amazing combination! I would’ve never thought to combine the two. As I was drooling over the pictures, I knew why it was so good….sugar, oil, sugar, butter, sugar…MMMMM! LOVE the concept, now I want you to create a healthified version that is just as amazing
Cracking up over your U2 excitement!
Oh jeez, I’m a gonna have to make this.
wow this looks delicious! I love the combination for blueberries and zucchini. I love trying different combination’s for my baked goods. I will give this a try.
Looks delicious! I LOVE zuchinni bread/cake and am a sucker for any crumb topping… Going to try this!
This looks awesome, I want to make it now! My only problem is that every time I make a bundt cake, it falls apart when I try to remove it from the pan
so frustrating!
You are so lucky with the “Zesty in-Laws.”
Is the same in law for the other baked goods?
It looks so good! I have never tried zucchini and blueberries together in a baked goodie, but sounds like a delectable combination. Great recipe! PS: Enjoy U2:)
I’m thinking I need to make this for the fam Rosh Hashana dinner this weekend! Looks AMAZING!
Holy YUM. Going to make this NOW!
hi zesty – how did you shred your zucchini? do you have a special tool? thanks!
Zesty, that cake looks amazing!!!!!!!!!! My mouth is watering right now!!
Thank you for another wonderful recipe!
Looks delish! I spy a Paderno mixing bowl….:)
I made this yesterday. It received 2 thumbs up from everyone in my family (4 guys, 1 girl) and even got 2 thumbs up from a neighbor boy. I had to bake it way longer than it said. Next time I’ll probably split it up between 2 pans. Also, since I don’t usually have blueberries, I will try it without. I’m sure it will be delicious that way too. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
Zucchini Bread = Delicious + Blueberries = HEAVENLY!
I made this tonight! FREAKING AWESOME!!!! Thanks to the Zesty-in-Law!
