The addition of squash sneaks extra vitamins into this cakelike bread. Be sure to purchase a 6-ounce carton of lemon yogurt rather than an 8-ounce one. Ingredients:
2/3 cup shredded yellow squash (about 1 small) |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 large eggs |
1 (6-ounce) carton lemon low-fat yogurt |
1/4 cup fat-free milk |
2 tablespoons grated fresh lemon rind |
cooking spray |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Press squash between several layers of paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Fluff squash with a fork, and toss with 2 tablespoons flour; set aside.
3. Lightly spoon 1 1/2 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
4. Beat butter with a mixer at medium speed until creamy; gradually add granulated sugar. Add eggs, and beat at medium speed just until blended. Combine yogurt and milk in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in squash and lemon rind. Spoon batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
5. Bake at 350° for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
6. Combine lemon juice and powdered sugar, stirring with a whisk; pour over loaf.
