In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually incorporate the flour, baking powder, and salt until just mixed.
Fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it's well distributed throughout the batter.
