Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter and some flour, set aside. Or make two smaller loafs, using two 8 x 4 inch pans.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined. Set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest and sugar, until creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, little by little and beat well until fully combined.
- Stir in the grated zucchini and grated carrots, next add chopped walnuts and raisins until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Bake for 40-50 minutes if using two smaller pans. If the edges and top brown before the center is settled, cover the bread with aluminum foil and continue baking.
- Cool in pan for about 20 minutes before transferring the bread onto a cooling rack.
- Remove bread from pan, and completely cool before storing or coving with the glaze.
- Lemon Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until no lumps remain and the mixture has a smooth consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still, maintain a drizzle consistency.
- If needed, add another teaspoon of lemon juice, or more sugar.
- Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread, let it settle before slicing and serving.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
