Zucchini Snack Cake

Sep 11, 2024 (updated Sep 8, 2025) (2 Comments)

Zucchini Snack Cake on plate with fork

Here's a healthy snacking cake to keep around for an afternoon snack or a quick, easy dessert. Store it covered in the refrigerator for a few weeks and take it out whenever.

It's based on my zucchini bread recipe with my new favorite vanilla frosting. It uses three simple ingredients and there's no fuss or heat needed. It tastes just like the powered sugar icing without the processed powdered sugar, oil, flour, or shortening.

I keep the cake in the refrigerator and have a piece when I'm wanting something sweet or need a low-key dessert to share with a crowd. I make it in an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan, or it can be doubled to be made into a larger sheet cake.

I'm in love with this vanilla icing, but there are others equally tasty in their own way like my maple frosting options with my pumpkin bars. Try the maple cream cheese frosting or the maple cream frosting (diary-free version). Another option is my well-loved nut butter cream frosting. Enjoy!

    Erica - I made this and love it. Am thinking of doubling the recipe and making it for a dessert to bring to a Rosh Hashanah dinner next week - but do you think I could use a yellow summer squash in addition to a zucchini? (one zucchini was the perfect amount for the 8x8 pan). I have one of both on hand and would prefer not getting another zucchini. Let me know what you think.

      Hi Deborah! Yes, yellow summer squash will work. Just squeeze out any excess moisture.
