Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 and butter a 9x9 baking pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Whisk well.
Step 3
Whisk in the baking soda, and then fold in the flour until no pockets of dry ingredients remain.
Step 4
Fold in the shredded zucchini and the chopped pecans.
Step 5
Spread the batter into your prepared baking pan and bake for about 35-45 minutes until risen.
Step 6
Allow the cake to partially cool while you make the frosting. I like to pour the frosting on the cake while it's still a bit warm for easier spreading.
Step 7
In a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, milk, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When it beings to boil, remove it from the heat.
Step 8
Whisk in the powdered sugar until the frosting is smooth, and pour it over the cake. Note: spread it quickly, the frosting begins to set almost immediately.
Step 9
I like to allow the frosting to cool before slicing into bars.
