▢ 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest and stir well.
Add eggs, oil, and lemon juice and stir until smooth. Stir in the dry ingredients until combined.
Fold the zucchini into the batter and pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to rest in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the loaf onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
While the bread is cooling, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the bread. Slice and serve.
