Before serving, I added a walnut to each piece of cake and also sprinkled it with ground cinnamon. |
White Zucchini Cake
with Cream Cheese Icing
3 cups grated zucchini
3 cups granulated sugar
1½ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cut nuts (optional – I used walnuts)
1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
- Mix squash, sugar, oil, and eggs; beat.
- Add dry ingredients; beat.
The batter is thick. - Spread batter into a 9"x15" cake pan that has been sprayed with pan release. (I opted to divide the cake batter between two quarter sheet pans (each 12" x 8 1/2" x 3/4").
Batter was divided between two quarter sheet pans
(each 12" x 8 1/2" x 3/4") and is ready to go into the oven. - Bake for 1½ hours in a preheated 300° or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean (I baked the quarter sheet pans just about 1 hour). Transfer to cooling racks.
Baked cakes cool on racks.
Icing
3 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick butter
2 cups powdered sugar
- Cream together cream cheese, vanilla and butter.

beat. Spread prepared icing evenly over the cake.
