I have been wanting to
make a bread using courgettes for ages. There are lots of recipes on
the internet but I settled for this recipe adapted from the book
“Sweet Food”. This cake
didn't go down well with my son, he didn't like it, and my husband
didn't even want to try it once he found out there were courgettes in
it! He doesn't have a problem with carrot cake though... But I do
have to say that carrots are a lot sweeter than courgettes. I quite
liked it but the next time I will try to make a bread rather than a
cake.
Ingredients:
- 150g chopped walnuts
- 500g grated courgettes
- 250ml sunflower oil
- 330g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 310g self-raising flour
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
Method:
Preheat
the oven to 170°C.
I used a 2lb silicone loaf so I wouldn't have to grease any tins and
there was so much dough left over I made muffins as well.
Put
the courgettes, oil, sugar, eggs and 100g of walnuts in a big bowl.
Mix well. Add the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the mixture in a tin and scatter the rest of the walnuts on top. Bake for 1 hour.
Leave to rest in the tin for 10 minutes before cooling onto a wire
rack.
