Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
2 cups shredded yellow summer squash
GLAZE:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons water
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and extract. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating after each addition just until combined. Stir in squash.
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; pour over cake.
