Lightly grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Make the cake: Whisk flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl until well combined. Beat oil, eggs, and vanilla in a separate bowl with an electric mixer; pour into flour mixture and stir until well combined. Stir in shredded zucchini. Pour batter into the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted into each layer comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert layers onto a wire rack and let cool completely, 20 to 30 more minutes. While the layers are cooling, make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in confectioner's sugar, a little at a time, until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Place one cooled cake layer onto a serving plate. Cover with frosting and spread to the edges. Repeat with a second layer. Place remaining cake layer on top. Frost the sides of the cake, then finish by frosting the top.
