Instructions

Step 1

Line a 20 x 20cm traybake tin with non stick baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas mark 4.

Step 2

Mix all the ingredients together in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or with a hand held mixer or with a wooden spoon for about 3 – 5 minutes until the mixture is creamy looking. (It will appear dry to begin with until the courgette releases water).

Step 3

Spoon into the prepared tin, level with a spoon and bake for 25 – 30 minutes until well risen and a toothpick comes out of the centre of the cake clean. Cool on a wire rack, then cut into squares and serve.

Step 4

This cake freezes perfectly for lunchboxes, in well wrapped portions. It keeps at room temperature for 3 days.
