Glazed Lemon Zucchini Bread

Delicious Glazed Lemon Zucchini Bread recipe { lilluna.com }

   Source: http://lilluna.com/glazed-lemon-zucchini-bread/

Ingredients
  • 2 cups cake flour (I home-ground flour from red wheat, white wheat, barley & rye)
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 2 TB lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (I used 1 cup blended yellow zucchini)
  • Glaze ingredients: (I only made 1/2)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 TB lemon juice
  • 1 TB milk
Instructions
  1. Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Then add oil and sugar until well blended. Add lemon juice, buttermilk, lemon zest to this mixture and blend all together.
  3. Fold in zucchini until it is mixed well.
  4. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend all together until well combined.
  5. Pour batter into greased 9x5 loaf pan (I used 4 small loaf pans and baked less time).
  6. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
  7. While still warm, make glaze and spoon over the bread. Let the glaze set up before cutting and serving.

*We love this--even Lared, who doesn't usually like citrus baked goods, likes it. It has a nutty taste. Next time, I'll add poppy seeds, too.

  1. We loved this too! Bill said it's his favorite zucchini bread ever :) Poppy seeds would be good. I used whole wheat white flour, but reduced it by a couple TBs. I ran out of white sugar so I used half loosely packed brown sugar. I think I would use melted butter in the glaze instead of milk next time so it has a little bit of a buttery flavor. Very good!
