Recipe by Kendra My mom has been making this cake for years using fresh zucchini from the garden. It is a family favorite. It's even great to freeze and bring out when company comes.

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
  • 3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped black walnuts (optional)
