Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish by lining a 10x10 baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spraying it with cooking spray.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater, then place it in a clean kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until well blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until completely combined after each addition. Then add the Greek yogurt and continue mixing until smooth.
- Fold the grated zucchini into the wet mixture. Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 25-28 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon zest, and milk. Whisk until smooth and thick for the glaze.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the glaze over the top and allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes
Ensure you thoroughly remove moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent a dense cake. Let the cake cool completely before glazing.
