Equipment

  • Loaf pan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest, then add eggs, oil, and lemon juice, stirring until smooth. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Grate zucchini and, if necessary, squeeze out excess moisture. Gently fold the grated zucchini into the batter, then pour it into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over it, then slice and serve.

Notes

For best results, squeeze excess moisture from the grated zucchini if it appears very wet. Ensure the bread is completely cool before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting.
