Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter and dust lightly with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in grated zucchini and optional chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla until well combined.
- Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

Notes
Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to keep the cake light. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to avoid melting.
