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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice to the wet ingredients.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

While the bread is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and additional lemon juice until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 11

Once the bread is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze on top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
