Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (60g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (100g) zucchini, grated (about 1 small zucchini)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (120ml) water
- Non-stick cooking spray
For the glaze
- ½ cup (50g) powdered sugar
- Lemon juice
Preparation
- For the cake: Coat the inside of the Anyday dish with cooking spray. Cut out a piece of parchment paper and fit it into the bottom of the bowl.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt and mix well. Add grated zucchini, vanilla, butter, and water and mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared Anyday dish. Cook in the microwave uncovered for 7-8 minutes, or until the bread is bouncy to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to rest in the Anyday dish for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen. Place a flat plate on the bowl and carefully flip the vessel to unmold the bread. Discard parchment paper.
- For the glaze: Mix powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to achieve the desired consistency.
- Drizzle bread with glaze and serve. Bread will be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Serving suggestions & tips

- Add chocolate chips to the batter for an indulgent treat.
Recipe notes
- Keep the cake in the Anyday cover with the knob down for 1-2 days.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
