Lemon Zucchini Bread
Everyone loves this zesty lemon zucchini bread! It is perfectly moist and delicious, and has a sweet and tangy icing.
Ingredients
Bread:
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Spray a 9x5" with non stick cooking spray. (I like to use Baker's Joy.) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Whisk together oil, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and eggs in a large mixing bowl, then stir in the zucchini.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gently stir into the wet ingredients just until moistened.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 325° for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool bread in pan for about 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.
- For icing, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl until smooth. You may need more or less lemon juice to get the right consistency. Drizzle or spread over the top of the loaf.
