- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cups grated zucchini, squeezed dry
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
