Carrot cake and zucchini come together to create a delicious dessert that carrot cake lovers will be excited about.
Ingredients
- 1 box box carrot cake mix + additional ingredients per instructions
- 1 c zucchini, shredded and squeezed
- 1 can cream cheese frosting (in piping bag with cut tip)
- Orange cookie frosting
- Green cookie frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, prepare cake batter per box instructions. Then, fold in shredded zucchini until the cake batter and zucchini shreds are fully mixed.
- Line a 13×9 sheet pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the carrot cake cool completely. This is an important step because you don’t want the icing to melt when you put it on the cake.
- Once the carrot cake has cooled, slice it into 8-10 bars.
- Pipe a border of frosting around each bar then pipe frosting in the middle and smooth out
- Using the orange cookie frosting, drizzle on the icing to make a carrot shape. Then, use the green cookie frosting to create the leaves of the carrot.
- Once you have the carrot cake zucchini bars decorated, you can serve them or place them in the fridge so that the icing can set further.
