There’s nothing quite like enjoying a slice of lemon cake with our morning coffee.
But what if there was a way to eat our cake and get a serving of vegetables at the same time?
This delicious lemon-glazed bread is actually packed with zucchini, which boosts eyesight, wards off diseases and can even help us lose weight. (For what it’s worth, zucchini is technically a fruit, but it’s prepared like a vegetable — and it’s even displayed with vegetables in the supermarket. As far as we’re concerned, it contributes to our daily quota of veggies.)
