Aunt Eliza's Star

One of our quilt guild members brought this to our last meeting. Everyone wanted the recipe:

Lemon Zucchini Cake

1 1/4 cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons oil

2 eggs

1/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups cake flour

1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cup shredded zucchini

Spray loaf pan with baking spray and line with parchment. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, blend sugar and oil. Add eggs, milk, lemon and vanilla; whisk together. Add flour mixture and stir just until incorporated. Fold in zucchini and lemon zest. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake one hour at 350F. Top of cake should look dry. Place loaf on a cooling rack and cool 15 minutes. While cake is cooling, whisk together:

2 tablespoons lemon zest

1 cup powdered sugar

1-2 tbsp lemon juice

Drizzle over cake.
