This recipe is fab, great use of courgettes! Made it for ALL my family and they loved it!! Freezes well too> *****
We had a glut of courgettes at home and needed something to do with them - thank you - this is the best cake we have tasted in a long time and the dog loves it too!
I'm sorry but this has to be one of the worst recipes I've ever made! Alarm bells should have rung when I clocked the quantity of sugar and flour needed. You need a washing up size bowl to mix it (why such a large recipe?) so I'd recommend halving it all if this is your first attempt. The final cake produced is *very* heavy and stodgey and I'm annoyed that I've wasted such a large amount of ingredients making this. I won't be trying it again.
