Description

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup canola oil
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 3 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoons ginger
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 3⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
• Cream Cheese Frosting
• 5 cups powdered sugar
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 4 tablespoons milk, optional

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prepare 2 9-inch round cake pans by spraying with cooking oil and line the bottom with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Combine all ingredients in order as listed above, beat on medium-high until well combined.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on baking rack.
• Once cake is completely cool make cream cheese frosting.
• Beat together cream cheese and melted butter until smooth and there are no cream cheese chunks. Add in powder sugar and cream together by beating on medium-high. Add in milk one tablespoon at a time, until you get your desired consistency, if you want to make the frosting a little runnier, like pictured add al 4 tablespoons.
• Cut each round cake in half. Place one layer on a cake plate or the serving plate you will be using. Add ¾ cup frosting, then add another cake layer. Repeat with remaining cake and frosting. After the last cake layer add the remaining frosting. I just poured mine in the center and then using a knife gently pushed it from the center out and let it run naturally down the sides of the cake.
