- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and zucchini.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before icing.
- For the icing, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake.
Notes
- Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the cake.
- Store cake in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
