Lemon Zucchini Bread

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Zucchini Bread.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, grab two loaf pans and give them a good greasing. For a sweet touch, sprinkle a little sugar on the bottom and sides of the pans, creating a delightful crust for your bread.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, 2 cups of sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and the zesty lemon peel. This mixture should be smooth and inviting, filling your kitchen with a lovely aroma.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Once combined, gently fold this dry mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until the batter thickens, but don’t overdo it! Now, it’s time to add the star of the show: the grated zucchini. Fold it in gently, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.

4. Step 4

   Pour the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pans, filling them about two-thirds full. Slide them into the preheated oven and let them bake for about an hour. You’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your bread is perfectly baked.

5. Step 5

   Once baked, allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully remove them and let them cool completely on a wire rack. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture!
