Ingredients

4 eggs
2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups grated zucchini
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups chopped black walnuts (optional)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease 2 9x13-inch baking pans.
Beat eggs, white sugar, and vegetable oil together until well blended.
