Zucchini Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Bars
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups zucchini, coarsely shredded
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Preparation

Bars:
Combine oil, sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl; beat at medium speed until well blended.
In another bowl, combine the flour and next 5 ingredients; stir well. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in zucchini.
Pour the batter into an ungreased 15 x 10 x 1 inch jellyroll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the top; cut into bars.
Frosting:
Combine the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a small mixing bowl; beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, beating until the frosting is smooth. Spread on the cooled zucchini bars.
