- Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Top with a sprinkle of sugar, if desired, and pipe some butter in the center (to create a little crack - optional) and bake for about 60-65 minutes. I do half on convection and have on conventional cuz my oven is too hot on the bottom.1 tbsp granulated sugar
- Top with flakey sea salt and cool for 30-60 minutes before slicing.flakey sea salt
Notes
*If you're a little short on zucchini, you can also make up the difference in weight with apple sauce or yogurt.
