courgette cake

Today is cake day. At least as far as this blog is concerned. This is one moist, delicious, simple, very healthy cake as it contains a whole lot of courgette. Yes indeed. Health for the soul, at least and that certainly is no mean feat. So grab a courgette and let's get baking. You need as follow;

1,5 L cake pan - grease and sprinkle with bread crumbs

3 free range eggs

1,5 dl caster sugar - whisk together until pale and fluffy

75 g butter/oil

2 tsp grated lemon or orange zest

2-3 dl roughly peeled and grated courgette

2 dl roughly grated almond paste - blend all this into the egg-sugar mix

2,5-3,5 dl wheat flour

1,5 tsp baking powder - mix this carefully into the rest of the batter

Bake the cake in the lower part of oven on 175 degrees C for about 45 minutes.

Let cool, then dust with icing sugar for a prettier cake.

Make a pot of tea, pour yourself a cup, slice a piece of warm courgette cake, eat, enjoy, be instantly merry ~
