Renthead Mommy Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The garden is booming and I came home from vacation to find some HUGE zukes. We have bbq to go to today so I tried out a chocolate zucchini cake recipe. I've never made or had zucchini cake before so I'm not sure what should go on it. Powered sugar? Some kind of frosting or glaze? I'm also new to the frosting not out of can thing. So suggestions would be helpful. Suggestions with recipe links would be even more helpful! Thanks!

Tita Gidge Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 We've always eaten it without anything on top :) Chocolate chips inside have always done the trick! You could always melt some extra chocolate and drizzle it over, but that might be overkill. I don't think anyone anywhere ever goes wrong with powdered sugar, either. In sum, ... I don't know but here's a bump LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Cream cheese frosting :D http://allrecipes.co...se-frosting-ii/ (Half of this recipe easily frosts a 9x13) ETA: I add a lot more powdered sugar than the recipe calls for :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Cream cheese frosting :D http://allrecipes.co...se-frosting-ii/ (Half of this recipe easily frosts a 9x13) I made this. How can I thin it down some so that it pools over a bunt cake? A little milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I made this. How can I thin it down some so that it pools over a bunt cake? A little milk? I think you could, but I've never done it. Any time I've made a glaze for a bundt cake, I've melted a cube of butter, turned off the heat and whisked in a tsp of vanilla, a Tbsp of corn syrup, a Tbsp or two of milk, and enough powdered sugar to get the consistency I want. I've never done a cream cheese version, but in my travels on Google it looks like a lot of people just make a "cream cheese glaze" by thinning down a basic frosting recipe like here: http://simplygloria....m-cheese-glaze/ and here: http://baking.about....heese-Glaze.htm HTH!
