This classic Zucchini Cake is moist and baked perfectly. I finish it all off with a creamy homemade cream cheese frosting for the perfect cake recipe.
This Zucchini Cake is my favorite cake recipe. During the spring and summertime, I always have zucchini on hand. It’s one of our favorite vegetables and is perfect for baking.
How to make Zucchini Cake:
Step one: Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then prepare a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray.
Step two: Cut off the ends of your zucchini and coarsely shred them and then set aside.
- Tips: Two zucchinis should make about 2 cups. but if it’s much more reserve for another recipe.
Step three: Add yellow cake mix, milk, melted butter, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Then mix with an electric hand mixer until well combined. Stir in shredded zucchini and walnuts. Once everything is mixed pour it all into your prepared baking dish.
Step four: Now bake in your preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through. To make sure your cake is cooked through place a toothpick in the center and if it comes out clean it is done. Allow cake to cool while you make your frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
Step five: To make your frosting cream together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Then add in cinnamon and vanilla and continue to mix. Once everything is well combined slowly add in powdered sugar and continue to mix until frosting is creamy.
Step six: Once the cake is cool spread on your frosting and then cut it into squares. Serve and enjoy.
