Hi All

I know we've had lots of Courgette cake recipes in the past but with courgette season in full swing and with these looking so good I thought I'd share.

Nom nom - what is canola oil?

 

It's rapeseed oil over here - canola in the US.

Thanks Lesley - heard of rapeseed oil but not canola. I will look at doing these as have a glut of courgettes.

I made these and took them into work. They went down very well

 

My tin was 11"x7" so I converted to metric and recalculated the ingredients

It worked out as

230g sugar, (I actually used 115g plus 2tbsp splenda - they were probably a bit less sweet than the original recipe, I found this to my taste!)

125ml rapeseed oil (sold in my local supermarket as vegetable oil - check the ingredients)

< 2tsp vanilla extract

160g Plain Flour

22g Cocoa powder

<1tsp salt

<1tsp baking powder

384ml Shredded Courgette (mine was finely shredded)

I chopped "some" chocolate and "some" pecans, sorry I can't remember how much!
