Yield: 16 servings

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar (or monk fruit sweetener)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 pinch ginger (optional)
3 tablespoon canola oil
2 whole large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups grated zucchini (unpeeled (squeeze excess liquid))
20 ounce can crushed pineapple in juice (drained well)

Frosting:

8 ounces cream cheese (1/3 fat Philadelphia )
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a Bundt pan or 9×13 baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and spices; stir well with a whisk.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with oil and vanilla.
Add grated zucchini and pineapple; mix until well combined
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. The batter will be stiff at first—just keep folding until everything is thoroughly combined.
Transfer batter to your pan and bake for 33–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and cake is pulling away from sides of pan.
Let the cake fully cool on a wire rack—this helps the frosting stay smooth.
To prepare frosting, Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until silky. Spread evenly on the cooled cake. Optionally, garnish with chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts.
