Lemon Zucchini Cake image

I combined two different lemon zucchini bread recipes when I made this the first time. Both of them called for only 1 cup of shredded zucchini. I shredded up 1 medium zucchini and it equaled about 2 cups packed or 3 cups loosely scooped shredded zucchini. Since I was also adding vegetable oil and sour cream, I increased the flour...

Number Of Ingredients 15

FOR THE CAKE
2 large eggs
1 c white sugar
1/3 c vegetable oil
1/3 c sour cream
2 to 3 c shredded zucchini (1 medium zucchini)
2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest
3 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
FOR THE GLAZE
1 c sifted powdered sugar
2 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a bundt or large loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • 2. Mix sugar, eggs, oil and sour cream together until well combined. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and shredded zucchini and mix well.
  • 3. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. With the mixer running on low, slowly add 1/3 of the dry ingredients at at a time mixing well each time. Stop and scrap the bowl and mix on medium speed until the batter is thick and smooth.
  • 4. Pour into prepared pan and bake 45-55 minutes. Test after 45 minutes and bake a little longer if not quite finished. Remove from oven. Cool in the pan 10 minutes before turning out onto a plate. Cool cake completely.
  • 5. Sift 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and stir. Add a little more lemon juice at a time until the glaze is a nice consistency for pouring. It may not take all the lemon juice or it may take slightly more than 2 tablespoons to reach the desired consistency. Use your good judgment.
  • 6. Drizzle glaze over the cake and let set. Slice and serve. I don't recommend storing in an airtight container because it is so moist. Cover leftover cake loosely with plastic wrap. If you live in a warmer climate than Seattle, store in the fridge.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It was moist and flavorful, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry, crumbly, and lacked flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

The cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. However, I found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more lemon zest or extract.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think it could have used more moisture, perhaps from adding more zucchini or buttermilk.
