Zucchini Cake

This is one of my all-time favorite cake recipes! It is a recipe my mom gave me and I think her mom gave her. So it's been passed down. When I made it today, I made a cream cheese frosting to go on top. Sometimes I just dust it with powdered sugar. Either way, it is really good!




Zucchini Cake

2 cups shredded zucchini
3 eggs
2 cups oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Combine the eggs, oil and vanilla. Beat until well blended. Then add zucchini. Then add all the rest of ingredients. Bake in 350* oven for 45-55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

Cream Cheese Frosting

8 oz. cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
about 4 cups of powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients together. I sometimes estimate the powdered sugar. This does make a lot of frosting as you can tell from the pictures.
