Рецепт #BundtBakers: Zucchini, Cheddar and Chive Bundt
With every Bundt pan recipe I post, I feel like I tell you how underutilized that charming little pan is and now finally I am going to get to put it to good use on a monthly basis!
What am I talking about and why am I sharing two recipes with you in one day? Well, last month I found out about the #BundtBakers and even though the reveal day is the same as the Improv Challenge, I couldn't pass up joining their group. My Bundt pan needs exercise!
Seeing as I'm sharing this recipe with you, I obviously got to participate this month. (Thank you!)
One of Tom's coworkers asked if I wanted some zucchini and I said sure. I had no idea that meant he was going to give me two massive zucchinis. Like four pounds each, massive zucchinis. Having never baked with zucchini before, I set out to find a recipe that would allow me to use it and some of the fresh herbs I have growing. I found this recipe and thought it would be perfect.
Zucchini, Cheddar and Chive Bundt
Source: Coffee and Crayons
Servings:12-16 slices
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups zucchini, shredded and excess water squeezed out
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the egg into the buttermilk and then stir in the melted butter.
4. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Over stirring will make the bread tough.
5. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese and chives.
6. Transfer the batter to the bundt pan and even out the top with a spoon or spatula.
7. Bake for 70 minutes or until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes on a wire rack.
9. Gently run a knife around the edges of the pan and then invert the bundt pan over a plate or serving dish.
10. Slice and serve.
