Preheat oven to 350F.
Spray a loaf pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar and olive and oil. Whisk to combine.
Add eggs and almondmilk and whisk together.
Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Add flour mixture and stir just until incorporated.
Fold in zucchini and lemon zest.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. The top of the cake should look dry.
