Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • FROSTING:
  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and oil. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in zucchini. Spread into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
