How to Make Just One More Bite Orange Zucchini Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, prepare your favorite spice cake mix according to package directions, using the indicated amount of water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs.
  3. Add 2 cups grated zucchini and 2 tablespoons orange zest to the batter. Mix until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  6. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the cake is completely cool, frost evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
