Good memories are priceless. A smile. A Laugh. Sincere hugs. Heartfelt kisses. Wishing Happy Birthday!! A cake!
A very special someone is growing up too fast. She turned two a month ago, and mommy made this special cake for her, full of vegetables and good oil to celebrate her.
A cake that is made with love. A cake that makes a special someone feel more special. A cake that pleases and makes that loved one feel happy, special and above all loved. A cake that is good for any two years old and good for you.
Here’s to wishing her many more fabulous minutes, hours, days, months, years and decades surrounded by much love and blessings.
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1½ cup shredded carrot
- 1½ cup shredded zucchini
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Grease and flour a 9 inch round pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat oil and sugar until combined.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in shredded carrots and zucchini.
- Add flour mixture and beat on low until combined.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden and a wooden pick comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on wire rack for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from pan and cool completely.
- While cake is cooling beat together mascarpone cheese and sugar until smooth to use as frosting.
- Frost top of cake with mascarpone frosting.
If you choose, instead of 1½ cups of carrots and 1½ of zucchini, you can use just one kind of vegetable (3 cups of shredded carrots or zucchini).
Depending on taste preference, you may increase the sugar amount to 1 cup.

Such a cute cake! Happy Birthday to your wee one 🙂
Thank you, Kiran.
What a cute idea for a cake. I have an abundance of zucchini I was wondering what to do with. Perhaps, I will bake a cake or two and freeze them for a later date.
I hope you do try the cake out. Thank you.
happy birthday to the little one! I love that you made her a healthy cake which I’m sure tasted great too!
I’m stopping by from the blogelina commentathon!

Thank you, Dara. The cake tasted great indeed.
Happy Birthday! Zucchini and Carrot Cake in one sounds yummy!
Thank you!
Wow, this looks delicious! I’ve requested carrot cake for my birthday a few times. Its a favorite. Happy birthday to your little one.
Thank you, Dona.
Happy birthday to your little girl! She’s lucky to have such a thoughtful mum who looks after her health and loves her very much. The cake looks beautiful and delicious! Would it work with honey instead of sugar to make it even healthier?
I actually have been thinking of trying honey on my next cake. I am sure the carrot-zucchini cake can be made with honey but the measurement would probably need to be adjusted. I would love to know if you tried this cake with honey. Thank you for your comment and stopping by.
Interesting recipe! We have a few food allergies so our cake recipe looks different (no eggs, for one). Have you ever done beets in chocolate cake? The kids love making that because the batter is a beautiful purple until it bakes.
I understand about the dietary restriction some of us may have which may lead to not able to try out all the recipes we like.
I have actually made cakes using beet as I am not too fan of using potentially toxic food color. I have a red velvet cupcake recipe with beet instead of red color that I’ve made several times. Also, I’ve made beet marbled cheesecake. Thank you for stopping by.

The cake looks delicious and is perfect for such a special celebration 🙂
Thank you, Amy.
Happy birthday to your sweet little one! They grow so fast 🙁 I hope she enjoyed that delicious looking cake!!
She enjoyed indeed! Everytime she sees the photos, she says, “mommy remember, I eat birthday cake in (the) backyard.”
Thank you.
What a great healthier birthday cake! I love seeing family’s choose a healthier option instead of just giving into traditional sugar laden cakes.
I am all about reducing sugar, using low fat dairy, etc. Thanks.
Yummy!!! I love using carrots and zucchini in cakes. I have an “Apple” pie recipe that is made with zucchini and not apples. You would never know the difference
You mean a zucchini pie? How can it be an apple pie without apples 😉
Thank you for stopping by.
Thanks for this awesome recipe! But I dont think I could fully celebrate my birthday without chocolate! 🙂
As a matter of fact, you can add cocoa powder to this cake and it’ll blend perfectly 🙂
OMW Mascarpone cheese!!! That has got to be amazing! I definitely want to frost something with that NOW!!!
Easy and delicious! Thank you.
Wow! That’s a GREAT idea for my son’s 2nd birthday! Bookmarking this.
I do hope you try the cake. It’s healthy and delicious. Thanks.
That cake looks delicious! Happy Birthday!

Wish I would have seen this when I had 5 zucchini
I love a mommy that celebrates her children’s years with a healthy yummy cake! Such love. It looks delicious!
Happy birthday to your little one.
Sounds like a good recipe!
Happy Birthday dear two-year old! And I think that cake looks good for a 38 year old as well! 🙂
Yum. My 2 year old is. cake-a-holic. I won’t feel so bad about feeding her this one. Thank you!
Happy birthday to your lil one. That cake looks really good. I had carrot cake before but never zuchinni.
You’ll be surprised Shauna how no one can tell this cake has hidden veggies. Thank you!
That cake looks great and I am sure your little one enjoyed it – mine would for sure. And such a healthy option!
She thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope your little one gets to try it soon.
this cake looks delicious! I have to try it!
Thank you!! A must try indeed.
Happy Birthday to your little one! Good for you for making a healthy cake to celebrate! It looks delicious and I love that it is full of vegetables rather than a bunch of fat.
Happy birthday to the little cutie patootie. Nice healthy cake. My daughter would love that (she’s 8) Start them young and they’ll appreciate all the great tastes food has to offer.
Totally agree. They need to get started early to appreciate a wide range of vegetables, fruits and food in general. Thank you.
Happy Birthday! I absolutely love carrots in my cake and this sounds like a nice sweet treat. I love that you’re offering healthier alternatives. Can I get a piece?
Sure, you are welcome anytime to have a piece. Thank you.
Happy birthday to your little one! I’ve never had a zucchini cake before, but it sounds delicious! I do love Mascarpone cheese, that must give it such a nice rich creamy flavor!
I love mascarpone cheese too but and the cheese worked really great with the cake.
wow! Yum! I love zucchini cake and carrot cake.. never had them together, but now I want to try! Stopping by as part of the blog-a-thon.! Emily
Healthy and looks delicious, you did a fabulous job! Happy birthday to your little girl! The 2s are so fun!

I love carrot cake, and I love zucchini bread… so they’ve got to be good together in a cake. Happy birthday to your two-year-old! 2 is a fun age.
What a lucky girl! And a delicious cake!! Yummy!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Love the healthy cake idea, although I don’t like carrot cake at all. Can’t please them all
