# Ingredients Required:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 125 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 5 grams baking powder
03 - 2.5 grams baking soda
04 - 1.25 grams salt
05 - 1 gram ground black pepper
06 - 3 grams garlic powder

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
08 - 150 grams granulated sugar
09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
11 - 120 grams grated zucchini
12 - 60 grams grated carrots
13 - 60 grams diced bell pepper
14 - 120 grams sour cream

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease a 23 cm round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly blended.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition, then blend in the vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in grated zucchini, grated carrots, diced bell pepper, and sour cream evenly.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Using freshly grated vegetables ensures moisture and enhances texture.
02 - Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
