Chocolate Zucchini Cake - Gluten Free - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup rice flour
    1 1/4 cups white bean flour
    2 teaspoons xanthan gum
    1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tablespoon baking powder
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    3/4 cup butter, softened
    2 cups sugar
    3 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    2 teaspoons orange peel, grated
    2 cups zucchini, grated
    1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup water
    1 cup walnuts, pieces
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 325F and grease/flour a tube pan or loaf pan (I like to use cocoa to \"flour\" the cake pan).
    Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar; add eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract, orange peel and zucchini.
    Stir in the flour mixture and milk (or water) alternately; add nuts and stir.
    Pour batter into prepared pan.
    Bake for approximately 1-1/2 hours; leave to cool in oven with door open for 30 minutes.
    Turn out of pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
