Lemon & Zucchini Bread

Ingredients:

• 125g butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups SR flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Juice and zest of 2 lemons
• 1 zucchini (finely grated)
• Icing sugar

Method:

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and the juice and zest of one of the lemons. Add flour and baking powder and once well combined add zucchini and beat for a few more minutes. Pop into a loaf tin and bake at 180 deg cel until a skewer comes out clean.

Put the other lemon’s juice in a bowl and combine with icing sugar until it makes a thin icing. Spread on cool loaf and top with the second lemons zest.

The Ramblings:

Today was sheep chopping up day!My usual disorganisation resulted in me this smearing with icing this morning and racing over to the big house. As I was walking through the car shed, though, I saw my push bike (it has a basket!!! Adorable!!!) and decided I really wanted to ride it over…. I hadn’t twigged to the fact I was carrying a beautifully plated up loaf but Matt did and voiced his belief that this wouldn’t end well…. My inner donkey dug it heels in, and I proved him wrong, but it must have been a ridiculous sight; patchy old work shirt, leggings, cake teetering on an up-turned palm and nose high in the air, wobbling along, proving my point. We finished cutting up just before smoko so our jackaroo got to double up on smoko, helping my campaign to fatten him up.
