Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and prepare two 8×4 inch loaf pans by greasing them with olive oil or butter, then dusting with flour.
- Grate zucchini until you have about one cup and set it aside. Zest the lemons, avoiding the bitter white pith.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with the lemon zest, rubbing them together until fragrant.
- Add 2 eggs to the lemon-sugar mixture, then mix in 0.5 cup of olive oil, 0.33 cup of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no dry flour remains. Do not overmix.
- Gently stir in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops, and bake for 60-65 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick.
- Once baked, cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- For the glaze, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled loaves and allow to set.
