  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 cups (270 g) finely shredded zucchini, do not squeeze liquid out
  • 1 ½ cups (320 g) light brown sugar
  • 1 cup (198 g) vegetable oil

  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 ½ cups (400 g) confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  1. Zucchini spice cake – Preheat oven to 350℉ and lightly grease a 9×13 baking pan. Set aside.

    2. In a bowl, add dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk to remove clumps and set aside.

  2. In a separate bowl, add wet ingredients: shredded zucchini (do not squeeze liquid out), brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until incorporated.
  3. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just incorporated (do not overmix).
  4. Pour cake batter into prepared 9×13 baking pan and bake for about 28 to 34 minutes, or until the center pops back when gently pressed. If you have an instant-read thermometer, cake is done when it reaches 210F in the center.
  5. Allow cake to cool completely to room temperature before frosting or slicing.
