Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Grated zucchini
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Additional lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice to the wet ingredients.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and additional lemon juice until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze on top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
