Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Zucchini
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Nutmeg
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoon Milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the brown butter glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
7. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, poke holes all over the cake with a skewer or fork. Pour the brown butter glaze over the warm cake, spreading it evenly.
8. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
