Ingredients
Cake:
-
2 cups white sugar
-
2 cups shredded zucchini
-
1 cup vegetable oil
-
3 large eggs
-
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ cup lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon lemon extract
Frosting:
-
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 teaspoon lemon extract
-
4 ½ cups powdered sugar
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 15-1/2x10-1/2-inch sheet cake pan.
-
Mix sugar, zucchini, oil, and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture and combine; don't overbeat. Mix in lemon juice and lemon extract. Pour into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and butter for frosting together in a bowl. Beat in lemon extract, then gradually beat in powdered sugar. Frost cooled cake.
Cook's Notes:
You can use vanilla extract instead of lemon extract in the frosting.
I baked mine for 38 minutes and it was perfect!
