Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 9" x 5" baking pan with parchment paper. 2 Finely shred zucchini using a large-hole grater or food processor. Press between paper towels or use a cheese cloth and squeeze excess moisture. 3 In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking powder and salt. 4 Add in zucchini and stir to combine. 5 In another bowl, whisk eggs, mashed sweet potato, applesauce, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. 6 Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold to combine. 7 Transfer to prepared baking pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out dry. 8 Cool for 10 minutes, then lift out of pan using parchment lining. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20-30 minutes. To Frost: 1 Let cake cook completely before frosting. 2 If cream cheese is solid, place in a bowl and microwave for about 15 seconds to soften. 3 Add in almond milk, vanilla and stevia sweetener and whisk until uniform. 4 Spread on top of cake and slice!View original recipe
