Ingredients

• 2 cups Zucchini (grated, drained)
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the grated zucchini, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until you get a smooth batter. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by mixing the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Pour a layer of the zucchini batter into the bottom of each prepared loaf pan, filling them about one-third full.

Step 7

Spread a layer of cream cheese filling over the batter, being careful to leave some room around the edges to avoid mixing layers.

Step 8

Top with the remaining zucchini batter, spreading it evenly to cover the cream cheese layer.

Step 9

Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
