Zucchini cake: a set of products

For a medium-sized zucchini cake, we need the simplest products:

zucchini (two small or one large);
2 chicken eggs;
a glass of flour;
2 medium tomatoes;
a small jar of sour cream (or mayonnaise);
a bunch of dill;
1-2 cloves of garlic;
green onion (for decoration);
salt and pepper to taste.

How to make a squash cake

First of all, we peel the zucchini, remove the core with seeds (if necessary) and rub the pulp on a grater. Next, you need to squeeze it out well to remove excess juice, otherwise the dough will turn out to be too liquid.

Add eggs, flour, a pinch of salt and a little black pepper to the squash pulp.

Mix everything well. The result is such a dough for pancake cakes.

Here you need to take into account one point, in the process of baking the cakes, the zucchini can give juice, and the dough will become more liquid. In this case, add a little more flour to it.

Next, we begin to bake cakes of medium thickness. In my frying pan with a diameter of 15 cm, I laid out 3 tablespoons of the dough and evenly distributed it over the entire surface. Before baking the first pancake, I lightly greased the pan with vegetable oil.

To make the cakes cook well, I fry them on both sides over low heat (about 2 minutes each side). As a result, I got 7 of these pancakes.

We leave the cakes to cool and start preparing the filling.

For impregnation, I mixed a jar of sour cream, a little mayonnaise, one clove of garlic, a pinch of salt and finely chopped dill.

The result is such a "cream". Then I cut the tomatoes into thin slices.

We start assembling the cake. I put a tablespoon of sour cream on the pancake.

After that comes a layer of tomato, which must be salted a little.

Next comes the next cake, "cream", tomatoes and so on until the pancakes run out. I want to add that in this recipe I put the tomatoes through a layer.

I covered the top cake with "cream", decorated it with halves of tomato slices and a green onion.
