Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That sounds nice . I'm growing some bright yellow courgettes at the moment - they would make it even more yellow . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 That sounds nice . I'm growing some bright yellow courgettes at the moment - they would make it even more yellow . So am I although they are about 2cm long at the moment. If they manage to get bigger without having a disaster I will give this cake a try.

Space Chick Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Woo Hoo... If we get another courgette glut, I know what I'll be baking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ooh, that looks nice! My mum and dad are away next week and I am on plant watering patrol - including two courgette plants which I can see already have courgettes growing on them. I can see me having a go at this! I assume 'cake flour' is self raising flour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I too have yellow courgettes for the fiest time this year, they are doing way better than the green ones at the moment, already eaten a couple. This recipe sounds perfect, although I have already had an enquiry at work about when the chocolate courgette muffins will be back in season.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I have made one . As usual with my baking, things didn't go that smoothly . I saw "loaf tin" but not the measurements they used so put it into one and it oozed out all over the oven . I rescued those bits though and they were lovely! It wasn't very pretty but was tasty although YS said it "wasn't my best". And that's without knowing there was courgette in it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mmmmm! It looks perfect from here! I made a random cake today to use up some bananas, I didn't have much flour but I made it any using what I had, it was too wet and has turned out very moist! It is edible but not my best effort! Ooh, that looks nice! My mum and dad are away next week and I am on plant watering patrol - including two courgette plants which I can see already have courgettes growing on them. I can see me having a go at this! I assume 'cake flour' is self raising flour? I assume so too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 That's what I used! TBH, the best bits were the overflow which cooked into little crunchy popcorn style pieces - they were yummy! I think next time, I'd use a square tin so it cooks right through, mine is a bit stodgy in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I made this cake today. I actually used the original recipe that was linked to in the blog, and it came out perfectly. It's yummy! The original recipe lists 'all purpose flour' in the ingredients, which is actually plain flour. I now wonder if SR flour plus the baking powder in the recipe made your cake boil all over the place, ANH? Mine certainly worked fine using plain flour.

chickencam Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oops I made a normal lemon cake today, forgot about this one, will make it later in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 MIL gave hubby a couple of big courgettes (don't need I have my own nice sized ones now), so that looks a good way to use them. And a delicious way too - er of course I cannot eat it on Monday or Tuesday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I made my own variation on this. And as it was lovely, I thought I'd share. Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6, 200, 400 Grease and line a loaf tin. Then 150g butter, 150g coconut nectar (I'm using this instead of sugar now as I'm diabetic, you could use caster sugar), cream together. Add three eggs. Then 225g of grated courgette. Then 45mls lemon juice Then 150g self raising flour. Bake for around 40 mins Yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I made this cake again this week. Once again it was absolutely delicious. And as it's called 'bread' in the recipe, I decided that qualifies it as a breakfast food. (Cake for breakfast? How continental ). What I have learned though, is that you can't make the icing by using granulated sugar because you've run out of icing sugar, and try to dissolve it in the lemon juice by heating it up on the hob. The result was basically a cake covered in a giant lemony boiled sweet It still tasted pretty good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhotchick Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Cake time again! Has anyone made this with green courgette? I'm a bit worried how it will look? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
