Glazed Lemon Zucchini Loaf

Glazed Lemon Zucchini Loaf:

 2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup buttermilk
zest of 1 lemon
1 cup peeled and grated zucchini
2 tbsp poppy seeds

Glaze ingredients:

1 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp milk

Mix flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Then add oil and sugar until well blended. Add lemon juice, buttermilk and lemon zest to this mixture. Blend all together.
Fold in zucchini and poppy seeds until it is mixed well.
Add dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend it all together until well combined.
Pour batter into a greased or lined loaf pan.
Bake @ 350 for 45-60 minutes or until tooth pick inserted at the top middle comes out dry.
While still warm, make glaze and spoon over the loaf. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

*Please note: I had to bake my loaf for the full 60 minutes. This will vary depending on your oven as well as the size of your loaf pan.
