Grate the zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched.

In a separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
