  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Juice of one Lemon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (about 1 large zucchini)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda before adding to the wet mixture. Mix to combine, taking care to not over-mix.
  8. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  9. Let cool 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges, and gently pulling out to cool on a rack.
  10. When fully cooled, mix the cream cheese, lemon juice, and powdered sugar together to make a glaze. Pour or spread over the cake.
