    SoulDogWalker's Notes: With a bountiful cucumber yield from this year's garden, I struggled to find something to do with cucumbers other than salads. I adapted this recipe from a carrot cake recipe and was so pleased...

Serves 13"x9"x2" cake or two smaller pans

  1. Preheat oven to 325°; grease and lightly flour a 13”x9”x2” baking pan (or two smaller pans)

  2. Wash, peel and coarsely shred cucumbers into a colander. Apply light pressure to the shredded cucumbers, squeezing out additional moisture until the cucumbers are moist, but not overly drippy. Set aside.

  4. Add 3 cups shredded cucumber, oil and eggs. On medium speed, beat ingredients until thoroughly combined, approximately 2 minutes.

  5. 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.

  6. Pour batter into the pan(s) and bake at 325° for 60 minutes or until the cake passes the ‘clean toothpick’ test. Remove from oven and let cool.

  7. Serve plain or with a light drizzled glaze. Makes a great dessert or breakfast snack!

Does baking soda account for a tsp or is it a double typing of bakingpowder by mistake?
