Notes

To keep your Vegan Zucchini Cake fresh, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to three months, making sure it’s wrapped tightly to avoid freezer burn. To reheat, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm it up in the oven or microwave. Always squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini to avoid a soggy cake. Gluten-free option available with almond flour.
