Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Grated zucchini
- 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 batch Cream cheese frosting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and slightly frothy.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
If desired, spread cream cheese frosting on top of the cooled cake before slicing and serving.
