Zucchini cake with zucchini flowers

Ingredients

150 g semi-wholemeal wheat flour
100 g cornmeal (OGM-free)
50 g almond flour
a pinch of whole sea salt
3 tablespoons cream of tartar
150 ml agave syrup
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
150 ml unsweetened, unflavoured soy milk (OGM-free)
1 tablespoon natural vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest (organic)
200 g long, light green zucchini, grated
8 zucchini flowers, washed, stems and pistils removed, and cut into 4 parts

Preheat oven to 180° C, lightly oil and flour a 20 cm round (stainless steel) cake pan, or alternatively, lay down a sheet of parchment paper on your cake pan. In a large bowl, sift together the semi-wholemeal wheat flour, cornmeal, almond flour, salt, and cream of tartar. Mix well. Place the agave syrup, oil, soy milk, vanilla extract and lemon zest in a bowl and stir well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is blended. Stir in the grated zucchini and the zucchini flowers. Make sure everything is well combined. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the centre is firm but still moist (use a wooden stick to check donness). Let cool before removing the cake from the pan.
