  • ½ cup unsalted butter, ( melted and slightly cooled) 4oz, 113g
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 10oz, 283g
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda 2.5g
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder 3.75g
  • ¾ teaspoon salt 5.25g
  • 1 cup sugar 7oz, 198g
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups grated zucchini, about 1 medium zucchini 7.5oz, 213g

For the Lemon Wash Glaze:

  • ½ cup sugar 3.5oz, 99g
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

For the Creamy Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar (sifted) 4oz, 113g
  • Finely grated zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream 14g

Instructions
 

For the Lemon Zucchini Bread:

  • Preheat oven to 350° Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, eggs, and cooled, melted butter until smooth. Add the shredded zucchini and mix until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix or the loaf will be tough.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. An instant read thermometer inserted into the middle should reach 200° F.
  • Remove bread from oven and let cool in pan, on a rack, for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully invert cake from the pan, onto a cooling rack. Invert cake onto another cooling rack, right side up.
  • Using a toothpick, poke holes all over top and sides of cake.
  • Gently brush Lemon Wash Glaze over top and sides until all is absorbed.
  • Let cake cool completely.
  • Drizzle with Creamy Lemon Glaze.

For the Lemon Wash Glaze:

  • Combine sugar and lemon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Turn off heat and set aside.

For the Creamy Lemon Glaze:

  • Prepare just before using
  • Combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cream in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth.

Notes

  • Make sure to mix your wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter, otherwise, it can lead to a tougher loaf of bread.
  • The Lemon Zucchini Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. A thermometer inserted in the middle should reach 200° F.
  • If the top starts to darken before the loaf is done, tent a piece of foil on top.
