Preheat the oven to 180oC.
Wash the zucchini, cut the ends and grate it
with a medium-hole grater.

powder.

aside: The juice will be used for icing.
Beat eggs and sugar until the mixture whitens.

in the grated zucchini, pressed between the hands to remove as much water as
possible, then the almond powder/yeast/starch.
