This is a very fragrant zucchini loaf recipe, which a colleague gave me 20 years ago but I had misplaced. With an abundant crop this year, I'm glad I found it!

    freshly grated lemon peel

How To Make lemon zucchini loaf

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 loaf pans (8x4 or 9x5).
  • 2
    In a large bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients. Use a fork or whisk so that everything is well blended.
  • 3
    In a separate bowl, beat eggs slightly, add oil, zucchini and freshly grated lemon peel. Whisk or beat one minute.
  • 4
    Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients. Stir only until no more flour is visible. Do not over-mix or loaf will be tough.
  • 5
    Spread evenly in the prepared pans.
  • 6
    Bake 1 hour or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack 10 minutes, then remove and glaze while still warm.
  • 7
    To make glaze, add just enough icing sugar to make fairly runny glaze. Drizzle over top of loaves while still warm. You will not need entire glaze, in fact I only use a couple of spoons so that it doesn't overwhelm the loaf.
