Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup Zucchini
• 2 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
2. In a bowl, combine the grated zucchini, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the zucchini mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
