Hot on the heels of our success with the Courgette Cake recipe<\/a>, but still with a glut of courgettes, last night we baked some chocolate courgette cakes. They were once a gain a success, although not much good for aiding my weight loss!<\/p>\n

Here’s the recipe.<\/p>\n

250g plain flour
\n375g caster sugar
\n65g cocoa powder
\n2 teaspoons bicarb of soda
\n1 teaspoon baking powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1\/2 teaspoon mixed spice
\n4 eggs
\n350ml vegetable oil
\n340g grated courgette
\n90g walnuts (optional)<\/p>\n

We just mixed it altogether in a bowl and then divided it between 3 loaf tins before whacking it in an oven at 180\u00baC for 40-45 minutes and the result was delicious! OK, it’s more of a chocolate cake with courgette in it than a courgette cake with chocolate in it but no-one will complain about that!<\/p>\n

Incidently, the Courgette Cake recipe<\/a> post has become one of the most popular posts on this site this week – we can’t be the only people with a glut of courgettes!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
