  • Mix sugar, zucchini, oil, and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add dry ingredients to sugar mixture and combine; don't overbeat. Mix in lemon juice and lemon extract. Pour into the prepared pan.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, beat cream cheese and butter for frosting together in a bowl. Beat in lemon extract, then gradually beat in powdered sugar. Frost cooled cake.

Cook's Notes:

You can use vanilla extract instead of lemon extract in the frosting.

I baked mine for 38 minutes and it was perfect!

Loved this cake! I have been a chocolate fanatic all my life. Lately I have been wanting something different. Saw this recipe, and because it had zucchini I wanted to try it. It is so goooood! I made no changes. Although I only made half the icing with 1 tsp lemon extract. I don't like a lot of icing if it is sweet. This amount of icing was perfect for us. THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE, WE LOVE IT! Read More

Woohoo, I'm first. I made the cake exactly as per the recipe and my family was blown away. One person said it had the lovely flavor of lemon fruit loops:-) Super moist, soft and slightly crispy around the edges, just fantastic. I chose not to frost it, just a sprinkle of icing sugar. Read More

Made no changes in the original recipe. Next time might add a tad more lemon extract or even some lemon zest. Read More

My husband said this was the best cake I've ever made, so that was a ringing endorsement because I've made a few. I didn't have lemon extract so I added extra zest. We don't like lots of frosting so I made just enough for a glaze-like topping. The cake was gone in a couple of days and I've been asked to bake another soon. Read More

Excellent cake for Easter dinner! I had to make it in a Bundt cake pan since I made it during the Corona Pandemic and had limited refrigerator space for a sheet pan. The change worked perfectly and I had to bake it an additional 5 minutes. I frosted it with the yummy frosting, but only needed half of it. Read More
