How to transform courgettes into something yummy. Unfortunately, I was too impatient to line the tin. My cake was greeted with "don't put that on your blog Mum, one slice might look rustic but the whole cake implies shoddy baking". Tastes good though. If you have a glut of courgettes and willing to line a baking tin, you can find the recipe here. So far today my raspberry frozen yoghurt has been turned down and my fresh pea risotto was described as 'cheesy'. I am beginning to get a complex.

Ooo! Courgette cake! It looks lovely. Might have to give that a go!
ReplyDeleteCake is the only way I can get my two to eat courgettes, they just aren't popular here.
ReplyDeleteRustic or not I bet it tastes fab.

I love courgette cake and chocolate courgette cake and I DO have a glut, just as well I like eating them in whatever way I use them. That cake looks delicious! x
ReplyDeleteI used to love courgette cake, my girls screw their noses up at cake a cake and vegatable mix, that is if they realise its in there! :) x
ReplyDeleteI have never tried courgette cake but it looks divine! Sadly I didnt grow any courgette plants myself so I dont have a glut, I buy them individually from the shops!
ReplyDeleteSigh... there's just no pleasing some food critics! ;-) It all looks and sounds very yummy to me! I'm not a big fan of courgettes but am intrigued by the cake - may have to give it a try sometime.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week,

Hey that looks really yummy! There does seem to be a glut of courgette this year, doesn't there? I might try this, healthy snacks are always a winner. And pooh! to those who turn up their noses at your efforts! Lx
ReplyDeleteWell that is certainly different. I have never tried that and courgettes are really cheap now.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to have a look at that recipe.
Giveaway on the go!
keep well

I am partial to a nice moist cake and, as with carrots, courgettes provide a nice moist cake.
ReplyDeleteLovely

My sister once made me a courgette cake - and although I adore courgettes in any form, I think the cake was my least favourite. And this is no reflection on my sister's baking as she's a real expert. However, I love carrot cake and also beetroot and chocolate - great combination. Any ideas on what to do with a glut of cucumbers...? And I can't imagine why anyone could turn up their nose at frozen raspberry yogurt - sounds delish!

Yum! I love courgettes in baking, and beetroot in chocolate cakes, and carrot cake ... I'm feeling hungry now ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd now I've typed that I see the other Annie has said much the same!
Looks great, lovely thick layer of icing on there, yum! I love courgettes but haven't tried them in a cake yet. It's on my to do list, along with parsnip cake!
ReplyDeleteLooks YUMMMMY!! Is it a bit like carrot cake? Now I want cake with my tea... :)
ReplyDeleteWorthy of the GBBO
