Lemon and Zucchini Loaf

I made half of this as I had a lemon and a zucchini going to waste. It will be frozen for a family meal in the future. I will just have to make the lemon glaze later and update picture :)

2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup rapeseed oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk - I used fat free yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon or 2 tbsp lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup grated zucchini

1. Whisk eggs then add all ingredients except flour and baking powder - mix well
2. Stir mixture into flour and baking powder
3. Spread into a greased or lined loaf tin
4. Bake Gas 5 Electric Fan 160 for 30-40 minutes or until done
5. When cool ice with a mix of icing sugar, cream cheese and lemon juice
