Add the zucchini, cinnamon, clove powder and the rest of flour (check the quantity of floue before adding, you maybe need a bit less or more). You must have a smooth cake batter.

Grease and flour a cake pan, pour the batter and bake for 45'.

Check if the cake is ready by inserting a clean knife in the center. If the knife comes out clean, the cake is ready. Otherwise, continue baking until it is ready. 

At this point you can also cover the top with an aluminum foil to avoid burning the top.
