Wonderful Wednesday - Cherry Cake and Giveaway

This is an old one I have dug out from my other blog that I started awhile ago. This is one of my favorite cakes to make and you can't tell that it is gluten and dairy free.
Cameron wanted a cherry cake for his birthday so I set out to make a cherry cake that everyone would enjoy.

Cherry Cake

Combine and mix well:

3 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 cup oil (I used vegetable)

1 tsp almond extract

Add to that 10 ounces of cherry jelly (I found a great one that had no sugar added, it was all fruit juice)

In another bowl mix

2 cups Gluten-Free Pantry All-Purpose flour (I like the mix)

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Combine the dry with the wet and add in 2 cups of grated zucchini*

Preheat oven to 350 and lightly oil what pans you are using.

Bake cupcakes 20-25 min

Round cake pans 30-40 depending on the size but you want a toothpick to come out clean.

Turn out on wire rack after 10 minutes to finish cooling.

*If you are using frozen zucchini as I did (my local farmers market had a great deal) add all the liquid that come out when thawed. It will make the batter look really thin but it bakes fine.

I had started on the cake before I realized I had not taken a picture.
This is what the finished cake looked like.
