Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Zucchini Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the white sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract until the mixture is harmoniously combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder, creating a dry mixture that will elevate your bars.
Step 4
Gradually incorporate this dry blend into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 5
Now, fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter for a delightful surprise in every bite.
Step 6
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a perfect base.
Step 7
Slide the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your bars are ready.
Step 8
While the bars are baking, whip up the cream cheese frosting by blending sifted confectioners' sugar, butter, and cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, reminiscent of a cloud.
Step 9
Once the bars are out of the oven, generously spread the creamy frosting over the warm surface, allowing it to melt slightly into the bars.
Step 10
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares, revealing the delightful layers of flavor and texture that await.
Step 11
Enjoy this sweet treat that’s perfect for any occasion!.
