I know, Courgette Cake: You're probably like ewww Courgette.. in a cake?
However, this is surprisingly very nice. You can't taste the courgette what so ever so in other words it is like a healthier, easy and more interesting alternative to a plain sponge.
Ingredients:
- Butter for the Tin
- 2 Large Eggs
- 125ml Vegetable Oil
- 85g Soft Brown Sugar
- 350g Peeled Courgettes, grated
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 300g Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- 85g Walnuts, roughly chopped
- 140g Sultanas (or raisins)
Method:
1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a loaf tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil and sugar, then add the courgettes and vanilla extract.
2. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients with a pinch of salt.
3. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then pour into the tin. Bake for 1 hr, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool, then serve.
You can serve this dry or you can spread some butter on your slice ( I preferably like mine alone)
And vwala, there is your very own Courgette Cake, overall this took me about 15 mins prep time and 1 hour to cook so its perfect for a last minute treat.
