Hello Friends! Today I am sharing a delicious homemade recipe to make zucchini cake. It’s similar to a traditional zucchini bread but with rich cream cheese icing. Have you heard about upgrading a muffin into a cupcake by topping it with icing? Well in this case, we are upgrading zucchini bread into zucchini cake 😉
I recently found a package of frozen shredded zucchini finding in the freezer. It was from last year’s garden and needed to be used up. Obviously my first instinct was dessert 😊
Here are the ingredients you will need to make this zucchini cake recipe.
Zucchini cake has quickly become a seasonal favorite in our home — it’s simple, sweet, and a wonderful way to use up the extra shredded zucchini from our summer garden. Whether it’s topped with a generous layer of cream cheese icing or served as-is with a cup of coffee, this cake never lasts long around here.
We love making use of what we have, and this recipe is one more reason to be grateful for a good harvest. If you’re looking for more ways to enjoy homegrown goodness, be sure to explore our dessert page for more homemade favorites.
If your garden is bursting with zucchini (or your neighbors keep leaving it on your porch 😄), here are a few other simple and delicious ways to use it up:

Zucchini is one of those humble vegetables that adapts to almost anything — and when you grow it yourself, every bite tastes even better. And we’d love to know — what’s your favorite way to incorporate homegrown zucchini into your meals?
I’m here to share recipes and ideas to help others make their home a simple homemade homestead.
