For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure your flour. This ensures accuracy and prevents a dry cake.
Don't overmix the batter! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
Squeezing the excess moisture from the zucchini is crucial for preventing a soggy cake.
Feel free to substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts in both the cake and the topping.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
