• 2. Mix sugar, eggs, oil and sour cream together until well combined. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and shredded zucchini and mix well.
• 3. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. With the mixer running on low, slowly add 1/3 of the dry ingredients at at a time mixing well each time. Stop and scrap the bowl and mix on medium speed until the batter is thick and smooth.
• 4. Pour into prepared pan and bake 45-55 minutes. Test after 45 minutes and bake a little longer if not quite finished. Remove from oven. Cool in the pan 10 minutes before turning out onto a plate. Cool cake completely.
• 5. Sift 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and stir. Add a little more lemon juice at a time until the glaze is a nice consistency for pouring. It may not take all the lemon juice or it may take slightly more than 2 tablespoons to reach the desired consistency. Use your good judgment.
• 6. Drizzle glaze over the cake and let set. Slice and serve. I don't recommend storing in an airtight container because it is so moist. Cover leftover cake loosely with plastic wrap. If you live in a warmer climate than Seattle, store in the fridge.
