Ingredients

The following ingredients have 20 Servings
  • 1 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • Juice and zest of 2 small lemons
  • 1 teaspoon almond flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups grated summer squash
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line two loaf pans; set aside.
  • Place the melted butter, sugar, lemon juice and zest, almond flavor and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Cream together until fluffy and light in color, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate into the mixture before adding another.
  • Evenly sprinkle the salt, baking soda, and baking powder over the top of the mixture. Mix well.
  • Working in batches, add the flour a 1/2 cup at a time; mix in entirely between additions. Fold in the squash and poppy seeds. Divide the batter between the prepared loaf pans. Bake for 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
