Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium)
1 cup shredded zucchini (1 medium)
1 egg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350° F. Spray 8-inch square pan with cooking spray; line with cooking parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In medium bowl, mix bananas, zucchini, egg, vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients all at once; stir just until combined.
  • Spread batter in pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until cake just begins to turn brown on top and toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour.
  • In medium bowl, beat Frosting ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly on top of cake. Cut into 3 rows by 3 rows. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cake.
