Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini, firmly packed (fresh or frozen and thawed)
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (320 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300 g)
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil (180 ml) or melted coconut oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (120 ml)
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (180 g) for glaze
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Shred zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon or nutmeg.
  4. In another bowl, whisk sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Fold in shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
  7. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and tap lightly to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick for doneness.
  9. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
  10. Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice to make glaze; drizzle over slightly warm cake.

Notes

Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini to avoid soggy cake. Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor. Do not overmix batter to keep cake tender. Let cake cool before glazing to prevent glaze from melting off. Adjust baking time if using a loaf or round cake pan.
