Zucchini Kuchen (Gorgeous Zucchini Cake)

Sheet Pan Zucchini Carrot Cake

This sheet pan cake with zucchini, carrots, and coconut is incredibly moist since it is soaked with freshly squeezed orange juice right after baking. Make sure you squeeze out most of the liquid of the vegetables, otherwise the cake will get too moist.
