Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Zucchini Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

2 cups flour

1 1/4 cups sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup oil

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 cups grated fresh zucchini

8 oz cream cheese, softened

4 Tb butter, softened

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease/butter a 9x13 baking dish.

Whisk all the dry ingredients together. Add the egg, vanilla, and oil, and mix well. The mixture will be crumbly. Stir in the zucchini until it clumps together.

Press dough into the bottom of the baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Let cool before frosting and cutting.

Combine the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and vanilla, and beat together until smooth and fluffy. Spread over the cake.
