Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini
For the Frosting:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 12 cup bundt pan with baking spray (or grease and flour the pan generously). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, oil and eggs until well blended. Add in lemon zest, lemon juice and lemon extract. Beat well.
- Add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat for 2-3 minutes. Fold in shredded zucchini.
- Pour into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 60 minutes. Remove and cool in pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a cake plate and cool completely before adding the frosting.
- For the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more or less juice for desired consistency. Pour evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
- For the garnish, in a small bowl combine the lemon zest with granulated sugar. Mix with your fingers until fully combined. Sprinkle over cake. Store cake at room temperature in a cake saver for up to 3 days. ENJOY!
Notes
- How to store: A cake saver is the best way! It will keep your lemon zucchini cake fresh and moist for about 3 days.
- Don't forget to grease the pan! Use a generous amount of baking spray to coat the inside of your tube pan. Bundt cakes are prone to sticking if the pan is not greased thoroughly.
- For perfect frosting: Whisk in the lemon juice a little at a time until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. You want it thick but easy to pour.
