Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.

Step 2

In a bowl, beat together the zucchini, sugar, egg, and oil. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; stir in the cinnamon and lemon zest. Stir the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from heat, and cool about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
