Ingredients
Cake:
-
3 cups all-purpose flour
-
3 cups white sugar
-
2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
-
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
-
4 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3 cups grated zucchini
Frosting:
-
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
-
½ cup butter, room temperature
-
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
-
Make the cake: Whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl until well combined.
-
Beat oil, eggs, and vanilla in a separate bowl with an electric mixer; pour into flour mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in shredded zucchini. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted into each layer comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert layers onto a wire rack and let cool completely, 20 to 30 more minutes.
-
While the layers are cooling, make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in confectioner's sugar, a little at a time, until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
-
Place one cooled cake layer onto a serving plate. Cover with frosting and spread to the edges. Repeat with a second layer. Place remaining cake layer on top. Frost the sides of the cake, then finish by frosting the top.
