Be sure to try this very tasty and unusual vegetable cake made from zucchini with tomatoes and cheese. Great dish for the holiday, and not only. This treat is simple to prepare, it turns out tasty, cheap and beautiful - great alternative heavy meat dishes.

Ingredients:

  • dough for zucchini cake:
  • 1 kg. young zucchini or zucchini
  • 3 pcs. eggs
  • 125 gr. sour cream for dough
  • 1-1.5 cups flour
  • salt, black ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. soda
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • filling:
  • 500 gr. ripe fleshy tomatoes
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • small bunch of dill
  • 125 gr. sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 150-200 gr. hard cheese
  • green onions
  • What's great about zucchini cake is that you can make it in advance, or at least you can bake zucchini pancakes in advance. For pancakes, we buy young zucchini with tender skin, or even better, zucchini. If the zucchini has a thick skin, then peel it.
  • Three zucchini on a medium grater, add eggs, salt, pepper, soda, sour cream.
  • Stir and then add flour in portions.
  • At first the dough is quite thick, but literally before your eyes, under the influence of salt, the zucchini releases juice and the dough becomes more liquid. More or less flour may be needed, it depends on the juiciness of the zucchini and the amount of salt in the dough. Test the dough for salt and spices.
  • Here's another nuance. If you make a zucchini cake from zucchini (a type of zucchini with delicate green skin), the cake will come out with beautiful green splashes. Pancakes made from ordinary zucchini also turn out ordinary, so if you want to add more “greenery” to the cake, then add a little finely chopped dill to the dough. Leave a couple of sprigs of dill for the sauce.
  • It is convenient to bake pancakes in a small frying pan (16-18 cm in diameter). Spoon the dough into a well-heated frying pan, pre-greased with vegetable oil. Using the same spoon, spread the dough evenly over the entire surface.
  • We bake the zucchini cakes over low heat, covered. When one side is browned, turn it over to the other. It is convenient to turn the cakes over using a flat lid; how to do this is detailed.
  • Ready-made cakes put on a plate, from this amount of ingredients you get 7-8 cakes.
  • The next day, or when the zucchini cakes have cooled properly, assemble the zucchini cake. To do this, first prepare a spicy sour cream sauce. So, add chopped dill (2-3 sprigs) and finely chopped garlic to the sour cream (or crush it in a garlic press). Stir, salt properly, the sauce should not be bland.
  • Medium-sized tomatoes (ripe, fleshy, preferably the “cream” variety), cut into thin slices.
  • Three on a medium grater, hard or semi hard cheese, it could be Russian or another cheese that you like.
  • Well, then we grease each cake with spicy sour cream sauce, put a few slices of tomatoes, sprinkle with grated cheese.
  • Grease the last cake with sauce in the same way, add tomatoes and cheese, sprinkle green onions. That's all, a very appetizing, incredibly beautiful zucchini cake with tomatoes and cheese is ready. In principle, you can serve it on the table, but it’s still better to put it in the refrigerator for several hours so that the cakes better absorb the taste and aroma of the garlic sauce, and it’s easier to cut it when the sour cream hardens.
  • This is how beautiful a zucchini cake turns out when cut)))))))))) If you liked zucchini cake, then be sure to try it

Recipe for zucchini cake with cheese and tomatoes

1. In order for the zucchini cake to turn out perfect, not to be too wet, not to spread, we first need to do some things with sour cream. We need it thick. Therefore, we will try to get rid of excess whey as much as possible. What do I need to do? Take a suitable pan and line it with gauze folded in several layers.

2. Now carefully place all the sour cream (600 g according to the recipe) into cheesecloth.

3. Next, we collect all the edges of the gauze and tie them into a knot, inserting a spoon into the hole so that it is light on the edges of the pan and the sour cream does not touch the bottom of the pan. Place this simple design in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. During this time, the sour cream will sag in the knot, and excess liquid will drain into the container. The sour cream will become much thicker.

4. While the sour cream is in the refrigerator, let's start with the zucchini. They need to be washed and dried with a paper towel. If the zucchini is slightly “aged”, then it is better to remove the skin from it. If you use young vegetables, you don’t have to peel them. Next, cut the zucchini into not too thick rings.

5. Now you need to prepare a baking tray. Let's cover it parchment paper. Place the prepared zucchini slices on a baking sheet and grease them with vegetable oil. Place the zucchini in the oven, preheated to 200°C, for 12-15 minutes.

6. Grind the cheese using a grater with large holes. The type of cheese doesn't matter, use your favorite. Brynza, suluguni, and any hard cheese will perfectly complement the zucchini cake with tomatoes.

7. By this time the zucchini is already baked, take them out of the oven and cool. Ready zucchini should become soft and easily pierced with a fork.

8. Now our task is to prepare the sauce for amazing cake from zucchini. Rinse the greens under running water and let dry slightly. A few sprigs of green dill can be left to decorate a vegetable cake. We peel the garlic and pass it through a press. From a small container, mix the herbs, garlic and sour cream, which by this time has already sagged and got rid of the whey. Mix thoroughly, add salt and pepper to taste.

9. Wash the tomatoes and cut into thin halves of circles. To prepare a zucchini cake with tomatoes and cheese, it is better to choose tomatoes that are fleshy, but not overripe, so that they do not drain their juice ahead of time.

10. Everything preparatory stages passed. You can start assembling the cake. We will use a springform pan, thanks to which the cake will turn out tall and beautiful. In addition, it is very convenient to remove the cake from the springform pan. I used a mold with a diameter of 25 cm. Cover its bottom with oiled paper or simply grease it with vegetable oil. Now lay out the prepared zucchini pucks. We place them in two or three layers so that the entire bottom is covered.

11. Generously grease the layer of zucchini sour cream and garlic sauce with greens.

13. Sprinkle some of the tomato half rings on top grated cheese. And again generously grease with the prepared sauce.

14. Now we repeat all the layers. Zucchini, sauce, tomatoes, cheese and sauce. Place the last layer of zucchini.

15. Last zucchini layer generously coat with sauce. Cover the pan and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Ideally, of course, at night. Cover the bowl with the remaining grated cheese cling film and also put it in the refrigerator.

16. After a certain time (3 hours or overnight), remove the zucchini cake from the refrigerator. Sprinkle it with the remaining grated cheese.

17. Now carefully remove the ring from the mold and transfer the cake to a flat dish.

18. Zucchini cake with tomatoes and cheese is ready! All that remains is to decorate it with sliced ​​tomatoes and the remaining dill. You can also use other decoration options: whatever your imagination tells you.
