Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
  2. Grate 2 small to medium zucchinis finely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in white sugar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  5. Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined, then fold in the grated zucchini.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in brown sugar and milk, boil gently until thick, then mix in vanilla.
  10. Drizzle the warm icing over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing to serve.
