Time 1h55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup cinnamon-flavored applesauce
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups confectioners' sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Beat eggs, vegetable oil, white sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix in zucchini. Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter in a bowl until smooth; stir in applesauce and nutmeg. Mix in confectioners' sugar until the frosting is smooth and workable; spread on cooled zucchini cake.

This cake was a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more oil or butter in the batter. The cream cheese icing was also a bit too sweet for me. Overall, it was an okay cake, but I wouldn't make it again.
