Beat together 1 and 1/4 cups sugar, 1 cup oil, and 3 teaspoons vanilla in a separate bowl.

Add 3 eggs to the mixture and beat until combined.

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined.

Add the grated zucchini to the batter and mix well.

Prepare two silicone baking pans by greasing them with butter and dusting with flour.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared pans.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick after 45 minutes.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool before slicing.
