Key Lime Zucchini Bread

Step 1

For the bread: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch round tube pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, pumpkin spice blend, baking soda, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, lime juice, vanilla and eggs in a medium bowl or large measuring cup. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture along with the grated zucchini and mix well.

Step 3

Spoon the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread in an even layer. Bake until a cake tester or skewer inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely, then remove from pan to a plate or cake stand.

Step 4

For the glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar and lime zest and juice in a medium bowl until smooth and pourable. If the icing is too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Pour the icing over the bread, then top with lime twists.
