Carrot and Zucchini Bars with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt
Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 1 (8 oz) pkg reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • (the frosting was a little thick for me, next time I'll add some milk or cream.)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix wet then add dry. Spread batter into an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. Bake about 25 minutes Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  3. Once the cake is cooled prepare the frosting.   In a medium mixing bowl, beat the fosting ingredients with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy.
