Ingredients

  • 1 (3.5 oz) box instant lemon pudding mix
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • Zest of one lemon

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch metal loaf pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, instant pudding mix, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened.
  5. Add Zucchini and Zest: Gently fold in the shredded zucchini and lemon zest.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the cooled loaf. Any leftover glaze can be stored in the refrigerator.
