According to user reviews, it was these recipes that turned out to be the best in all categories: affordable, clear and tasty, and as an additional incentive - satisfying. A separate point is to mention the belonging of these dishes to vegetarian cuisine, which every year is becoming more and more popular in all corners of the globe.
The most common option for making zucchini cake is with tomatoes, because the recipe is based on a classic snack of these two vegetables, in which the circles of vegetables are combined with mayonnaise and sprinkled with herbs.
Resourceful and creative craftsmen came up with a new version, which looks more elegant on the festive table, is convenient for portion serving, and is also very tasty, despite the simple components. Essential ingredients for making zucchini cake:
The zucchini cake according to the recipe is prepared step by step as follows: grate zucchini on a grater with large holes and gently squeeze out excess liquid with your hands. Next, add salt and spices to them, eggs and mix until the spices are evenly distributed. Then introduce the flour and mix thoroughly the resulting dough.
In a pan with a thick bottom (preferably cast iron), warm 1/2 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil and pour a little dough on it, leveling it evenly across the entire plane with a spatula or spoon. The layer thickness should be no more than 8 mm, but not too thin, otherwise the pancake will not be able to turn over when it is fried on one side. The fire of the stove should be medium, and the degree of heat treatment - to a slight blush. No need to bring pancakes from zucchini to brown - they will not be so tasty, and there will be much less useful vitamins in them.
In the process of frying, carefully turn over, and put the finished pancakes from the zucchini onto paper to remove unnecessary oil residues.
Cut tomatoes into long thin slices, while it is better to choose a meaty variety of tomatoes - then the juice will be less, which means that the dish itself will turn out tastier. We chop the parsley finely, and mix the garlic chopped in the press with mayonnaise, you can also add a pinch of allspice there.
When all the pancakes are ready and slightly cooled, following the zucchini cake recipe step by step, we begin to collect the cake: put the first zucchini pancake on the bottom of a flat dish of suitable diameter and spread with mayonnaise sauce, on top of which we place a layer of tomatoes and parsley. Top - a small mesh of mayonnaise and the next pancake and so on. Top and sides of the whole cake should be coated with the remains of mayonnaise and sprinkled with parsley. Refrigerate for three to four hours, so that the layers are saturated with the aroma of sauce.
There is a similar recipe for zucchini cake, which looks no worse in the photo, and even more piquant in taste, as it includes constant companions of many appetizers with mayonnaise: mushrooms and cheese.
To prepare, you need to prepare:
The preparation of the base for zucchini cake step by step is not very different from the previous recipe, except that the zucchini should be grated on a fine grater to make the dough more uniform. We squeeze grated zucchini from excess juice and mix with eggs, salt and spices to taste should also be added: nutmeg, coriander or oregano. Then pour the flour and knead the dough until smooth, you can lightly walk on it with a blender.
Next, bake pancakes, as described in the previous recipe, and cool on paper. In total, about six layers should be obtained, which are layered with mushroom filling and stacked in a stack in a split baking dish. Put the squash cake in the oven, warmed to a temperature of 180 degrees, and bake for 12-15 minutes. Then, still hot cake, sprinkle abundantly with grated cheese and sprinkle with finely chopped dill. You can serve it even warm or cold - it is equally tasty and quite satisfying, so the male part of the tasters will be delighted, despite the fact that the dish does not contain meat at all.
To prepare the filling for the squash cake according to the recipe, chop the onion as small as possible into cubes and fry in a pan in 2 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil until golden brown, there to send mushrooms, cut into small slices, and continue heat treatment until the liquid completely evaporates. In a separate bowl, mix chopped garlic, 1/3 teaspoon black pepper and a little salt to taste with mayonnaise. There also send grated cheese on a coarse grater, after leaving a little for the final topping of the cake (no more than 80 grams). Next, mix the mushrooms and mayonnaise dressing until smooth and use as intended.
Another recipe for zucchini cake with tomatoes as a decoration will not leave indifferent lovers of crab sticks.
The list of required products is quite simple:
Grate zucchini, squeeze juice and mix with two eggs, flour and salt for taste reasons, you can also add any spice, based on your taste. Then in a pan, bake three pancakes from the resulting dough and cool them slightly.
Grate the cheese and mix with garlic and half a dose of mayonnaise. Cut the crab sticks into small pieces, add two boiled eggs and the rest of the mayonnaise to them. We collect the cake in a stack in this order: first, a pancake from zucchini dough, distribute the filling from crab sticks with an egg on it with an even layer, then the next pancake from zucchini, on top of which is a filling of cheese and garlic. Gently press the cake on top so that the layers stick together a little, then on top of it draw a mayonnaise net on which we sprinkle finely chopped greens. From fresh tomatoes, we cut out roses with a sharp knife and place them in the center of the finished cake. We put the cake in the refrigerator for a couple of hours so that its layers exchange tastes and aromas.

Ingredients for the dough:
Vegetable oil for frying zucchini pancakes
Ingredients for grease lubrication:
Tomatoes - 2 pcs.
My zucchini is young, if you have large zucchini, you can remove the seeds and cleanse the skin. The most delicious cake from zucchini is obtained from young vegetables.
1.
I washed the zucchini and dried it with a paper towel. Zucchini I rub on a medium grater (you can on a large). Add salt and leave for 5-10 minutes, so that the zucchini let the juice.
3.
In the zucchini, I drive 3 eggs, add the flour in portions and alter everything.

6.
I pour vegetable oil into the pan. I spread the dough with a spoon and distribute in a circle. Fry pancakes on both sides for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Thanks to soda, pancakes from zucchini are tender and lush. Thus, the finished squash cake is tender and fragrant (garlic, dill).
7.
I put each pancake on a separate plate on a paper towel and let them cool. I spread it on a paper towel to absorb excess vegetable oil.
I note again, each pancake cools on a separate plate. If stacked hot they can be wet.
You can use sour cream, mayonnaise, or mix mayonnaise with sour cream in equal proportions. Mayonnaise can be prepared by yourself or bought in a store.
I use mayonnaise. I squeezed a few cloves of garlic into it and added chopped dill. You can add any greens to your liking.
I add salt and pepper to the sauce to taste, mix everything.
Between the layers I will spread fresh sliced \u200b\u200btomato. You can fry onions and carrots, I did when I cooked, then it was winter and there were no fresh tomatoes on sale.
What else can I use? Instead of a tomato, you can spread on the pancakes pieces of fried or baked chicken breast, caviar, fish, frying (onions, carrots, peppers), fried mushrooms, cream cheese or grated cheese.
With tomatoes, this dish will turn out vegetable and no other ingredients make it heavy. Nevertheless, the cake turns out to be quite high-calorie due to the mayonnaise that is part of it.
If you use sour cream, then it is better to mix it with mayonnaise in a 1: 1 ratio and also add salt, pepper, garlic and herbs to the sauce.
1. I spread the pancake on a plate, grease it with the prepared sauce and spread the circles of tomatoes, put the second pancake on top and smear it with the sauce and spread the tomatoes in the same way.
2. Thus we collect the whole cake.
3. Decorate a cake from squash pancakes according to your taste and desire. I decorated it with parsley and tomato.
It is better to let the cake soak by removing it for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. But we decided to try it right away, the dish turned out to be very appetizing. This is how it looks in section.
On top of the cake, you can decorate with finely chopped herbs, or you can sprinkle each pancake with greens in addition.
Fresh young garlic and dill gives it a certain piquancy, and a unique aroma. Frankly, I was preparing a birthday cake, the guests were delighted with this dish. “Dare” at once and everyone appreciated. I am glad that the guests liked it, I hope you will like it.
