Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pans
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups shredded zucchini (from about 1 medium zucchini)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Honey Lemon Butter, recipe follows
4 ounces unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans. In large bowl beat together the eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla. Slowly add zucchini. Add lemon zest and mix thoroughly.
In a separate large bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Slowly add zucchini mixture until completely combined. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean and the sides have started to brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool on a rack 15 minutes. Unmold and serve warm or at room temperature sliced with the Lemon Honey Butter.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, honey and lemon zest and mix together well.
