Unbelievably soft zucchini sheet cake gets dressed up in a tangy pineapple glaze for one healthy summer dessert you’ll want to make ALL the time!—Only 129 calories per slice!

Guys, you KNOW we’re in the thick of all things summer when I start breaking out the zucchini baked goods.

To be honest, I don’t even know why the heck I waited this long. It’s not as if I haven’t been overrun with all things zucchini and I mean ALL.THINGS.

Don’t send help. I’m good over here surrounded in the GREEN. ???

Okay, so are you ready for your likely-too-presumptuous idea of healthy sheet cake to be reversed completely?? Here we go.

You start with green, add a little more green, and basically all the green an innocent little cake can hold. Then you pass on by the butter, only use a liiiiiiittle bit of oil, and lastly go nuts with the pineapple glaze.

Like that only imagine that just going straight into your face and not so much on the cake. It’s probably gonna happen.

And guys!! I mentioned it above but I’ll say it again. 129 freaking calories per slice. Just give me the whole cake already and let me be on my way.

Confession: I totally made this sheet cake three times…in the space of one week. I swear each cake was better than the last.

Confession #2. I might have broken all the rules and ate it for breakfast too.

Multiple pieces around 7am-ish if you want specifics. Don’t judge me.

Just trust me that you should do the same thing. Preferably right this second.

Zucchini bosses we all are. <— the ultimate title.
