Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 loaf pans; sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar onto the bottom and sides of the greased pans.
Step 2
Beat together 2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon zest in a large bowl until well combined. Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl until well mixed; add to egg mixture and stir until batter is thick. Fold in zucchini until incorporated. Divide batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool loaves in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
