Steps:
- reheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare three cupcake pans with parchment baking cups (or regular cupcake liners).
- Whisk together in a large bowl the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
- Whisk the eggs and sugars together in a large bowl until the sugars are just about dissolved. Now add the oil about a half a cup at a time and whisk in until it's combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture. Stir in the zucchini.
- Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full. (I love using this scoop).
- Turn your oven down to 325 right before putting the cupcakes in. Bake for 23 to 26 minutes or until the edges just begin to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

A great way to use up some of that zucchini! It is basically a spice cake with zucchini hidden in it. The icing is wonderful and the cupcakes are very moist. Kids & adults alike love them.
