Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c butter, melted
2 c sugar
1/4 c lemon juice, fresh
2 tsp lemon zest, grated
3 eggs

1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

  • 5. Drain liquid from the grated squash, but do not squeeze dry.

Not a fan of this bread. The flavor was bland and the texture was too dense.

This bread is a delightful surprise! The lemon flavor is bright and refreshing, and the squash adds a lovely moistness and subtle sweetness. I used zucchini instead of summer squash, and it worked out great.
