– 1 1/2 cups sugar
– 3/4 cup vegetable oil
– 3 eggs
– 2 cups grated zucchini
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Brown Butter Frosting:
– 1/2 cup butter
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, and eggs until well combined.
3. Stir in the grated zucchini and vanilla extract.

7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
8. For the frosting, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
9. In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
