I found this recipe on the old Taste of Home message boards. I've actually had it for years, but I just now made it. Using butter rather than oil, gives the cake very nice flavor.

3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup water
1  1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13" pan.

Combine cake mix, eggs butter, water, cinnamon and vanilla  in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat on low speed for 4 minutes. Stir in the shrd zucchini and pour into prepared pan. Bake 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and frost. Store the cake in the refrigerator.
