Zucchini Cream Cheese Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 - 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 -4 cups zucchini, unpeeled and chopped
1/3 cup sugar (or less)
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F (170 C).
Beat sugar, butter, vanilla and cream cheese on medium speed or about 4 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time and beat.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and 2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and beat on low until blended.
Shred the zucchini (or chop it into very small pieces). I used my manual food processor (salsa maker) which worked great.
Stir in the zucchini.
Pour into 13 x 9 pan.
Combine the 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle over the batter.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Enjoy!
