Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 cup buttermilk

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• zest from one lemon

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 cup yellow squash, grated

For the Lemon Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

1. Grease and flour a 9x5" bread pan. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

2. In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, beat the eggs. Add the 1/2 cup of oil and 1 1/3 cups of sugar and mix until well blended.

3. Add 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 2 tablepsoons of lemon juice, and lemon zest to the mixture and blend well.

4. Add the 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder all at once. Blend on low speed just until everything is incorporated and most of the lumps are gone.

5. Add the one cup of grated yellow squash and fold in using a spoon.

6. Pour the batter into your prepared bread pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

7. Allow the bread to cool for at least 30 minutes in the pan. Then slide a knife or spatula around the edges to loosen and turn out onto a cutting board. Allow to cool completely. (Alternately, you can leave the bread in the pans, uncovered, overnight)

8. Before serving, make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk together. Drizzle over the top of the bread. Glaze will harden up in time.
