Ingredients

1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 medium-sized zucchini)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, olive oil, and eggs until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated zucchini gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Lemon Zucchini Cake as is, or top with a light lemon glaze for an extra touch of sweetness!
