Recipe: Tasty Cucumber Cake Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Cucumber Cake. I had left the seeds of the cucumber intact- that lent a nutty, crunchy taste to the cake. Feel free to scoop it out if you please. The cucumber by nature of their high moisture content will give the batter a thinner texture ; ensure the final mix is of a pancake batter consistency Add little more flour if required.

I found the cucumber hard to blend as well and eventually added the eggs to the blender to give it more liquid to blend with.

I like the contrast of the light green color and the white frosting.

With no refined flour or refined sugar, this is the best tea cake so far!

You can cook Cucumber Cake using 10 ingredients and 2 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Because cucumbers have a high moisture content, the consistency of the batter will be thinner than a typical cake batter.

Look for a consistency similar to pancake batter, adding additional flour if needed.

Add the dry ingredients to the cucumber mixture and stir just to combine.

Cucumber Cake step by step

  1. Mix all the above ingredients, pour it into a greased baking tray and bake it in a baking oven at 20° centigrade for 40 minutes..

  2. Cool it, slice it and enjoy with fresh cream or ghee..

DO NOT OVERMIX or your cake will turn tough.

Gently fold in the cashews, cherries and coconut.

Pour the batter into the greased cake pan.

The cake is done when the top is golden and the "toothpick test" comes out clean.

This delicate green cucumber cake tastes like a lemon sponge with a subtle, refreshing flavour from the cucumber.
