Keto “Apple Cake”

Recipes, Something sweet heelsandspices

I have used zucchini as a replacement for apples for years. With the right spices and other ingredients, I bet you will not be able to distinguish between it and a real apple.

From cobblers, to muffins, compotes, pies, or almost anything else that apples play a role, the humble zucchini is a perfect replacement.

This cake is no exception. Besides being beyond delicious, it is moist, and has the right ration between sweetness and acidity, making it a pleasure to our taste buds.
