Yield: 24 Servings (2 dozen)

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini (do not pack)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2-1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3-1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

 

GLAZE:

  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine zucchini, buttermilk, lemon peel and lemon juice; toss to combine. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. In another bowl, whisk 3-1/4 cups flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with zucchini mixture, mixing well after each addition. Toss blueberries with remaining flour; fold into batter.
  3. Transfer batter to prepared pan, spreading evenly (pan will be full). Bake 30-35 minutes or until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  4. In a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth; spread over top. Let stand until set.
