Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or spray with baking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and olive oil until smooth. Add the eggs and Almond Breeze Vanilla Almondmilk, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. (5 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed (or by hand) just until combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and lemon zest. (5 minutes)

05

Step
50 mins

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The top of the cake should spring back lightly when touched. (50 minutes)

06

Step
15 mins

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake. Slice and serve. (5 minutes)

For best results, ensure the zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy cake.
Using room-temperature eggs helps create a smoother batter.
Feel free to add a handful of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) to the batter for added texture.
The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
