Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c cake flour ** see note to make your own
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 c oil
1-1/3 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c buttermilk or half 'n half
zest of 1 lemon
2 c grated zucchini
glaze
1 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • 1. NOTE *** if you do not have cake flour on hand you can make your own by following these directions. For every 1 cup of AP flour, remove 2 tablespoons of the flour. Replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Run through a sifter at least 4 times to be certain the flour and cornstarch are very well blended.
  • 2. Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. Preheat oven to 350*.
  • 3. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add oil and sugar and beat until well blended. Add lemon juice, buttermilk and lemon zest to this mixture and stir to combine. Fold in zucchini until it is thoroughly mixed.
  • 4. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend all together until well combined. Pour batter into greased 11x7 baking dish or divide into 2 loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes.
  • 5. When you pull the bread out of the oven get the glaze mixed together. Put powdered sugar into a small bowl. Slowly add lemon juice until you get a glaze consistency. While the bread is still warm, pour the glaze over top and spread to cover. When the bread cools and the glaze is set up similar to a glazed donut, cut a piece, sit back and enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful zucchini bread, use freshly grated zucchini and let it drain for a few minutes before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the bread from becoming too watery.
  • Be sure to zest the lemon before juicing it. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the bread.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through without being overbaked.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a shiny, professional-looking glaze, use a pastry brush to apply it to the bread.

Conclusion:

Glazed lemon zucchini bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover zucchini from your garden. With its moist, flavorful crumb and bright, citrusy glaze, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
