2 c cake flour ** see note to make your own
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 c oil
1-1/3 c granulated sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c buttermilk or half 'n half
zest of 1 lemon
2 c grated zucchini
glaze
1 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

1. NOTE *** if you do not have cake flour on hand you can make your own by following these directions. For every 1 cup of AP flour, remove 2 tablespoons of the flour. Replace with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Run through a sifter at least 4 times to be certain the flour and cornstarch are very well blended.
2. Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. Preheat oven to 350*.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add oil and sugar and beat until well blended. Add lemon juice, buttermilk and lemon zest to this mixture and stir to combine. Fold in zucchini until it is thoroughly mixed.
4. Add dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend all together until well combined. Pour batter into greased 11x7 baking dish or divide into 2 loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 35 - 40 minutes.
5. When you pull the bread out of the oven get the glaze mixed together. Put powdered sugar into a small bowl. Slowly add lemon juice until you get a glaze consistency. While the bread is still warm, pour the glaze over top and spread to cover. When the bread cools and the glaze is set up similar to a glazed donut, cut a piece, sit back and enjoy!
