First wash and finely grated zucchini and place in a colander to drain the water from vegetation, mash them slightly if necessary, and keep aside.
In the bowl (you can also use a whisk), place the softened butter at room temperature, the lemon zest and sugar; worked until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, at this point, add the eggs, one at a time and always beating with a whisk.
Then add flour, baking powder, and poppy seeds, a pinch of salt and continue to knead. Finally, the grated zucchini, mix everything with a spoon.
Grease and flour a loaf pan for good, or what shape you like, and pour the mixture leveling slightly.
