Equipment

  • 9x5-inch loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large lemon zest
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini moisture removed
  • 0.5 cup plain yogurt or sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Grate zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add eggs, oil, lemon juice, and zest to the dry mix and whisk.
  • Fold in zucchini and yogurt gently.
  • Pour batter into pan and smooth top with a shallow valley.
  • Bake for 45–50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool 10 minutes in pan, then on wire rack for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense texture. Use room-temperature ingredients for best results. You can freeze individual slices for quick snacks. Rubbing lemon zest into sugar enhances citrus flavor.
