Lemon Zucchini Bread Recipe

Date:

Share:

If there is a better way to get a serving of vegetables, I'm not sure what it is. The natural water in the zucchini makes this cake nice and moist without any of the flavor of the vegetable coming through. It has all the power of the veggies, but tastes like a tangy lemon cake! It's a dessert you can feel great about.
