How to Make Lemon Zucchini Cake With Poppy Seed
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, 2 teaspoons lemon extract, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds until well combined.
- Add 2 cups shredded zucchini and stir until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon extract, and 1 tablespoon water. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and pourable.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
