is delish, if you have some to use up and eat cake then give it a whirl (recipe on here under courgette)
have just eaten one (er no two) pieces cos its so yummy - will not tell family it has courgettes in tho, when i made the choc beetroot cake (also delish) and told them it had beetroot in they wouldnt eat it and i ended up eating it all to myself  (i did freeze it and eat it over  a few weeks)

who new courgettes could be so useful?

I'm always looking for recipes to use up courgettes.  I wonder why we all grow so many when we have to find recipes to turn them into other things.  OH and myself dont like them much as a veg, I only grow them to enter the local show stupid or what.
I'll give the cake a try
One of my plants has broken off at the base in the wind today, what a shame

...  I wonder why we all grow so many....

Because if you grow the right number for your needs a tall chap with a scythe and a long black cloak who TALKS LIKE THIS will come and empty their little veggie lifetimers.  If as a result you decide to grow loads so the right number will survive then they all survive and thrive out of sheer spite......      It is the law of 50d...

After reading this thread and I had a spare courgette or two I decided to make the choc cake.  It was so yummy it only lasted two days.  Even my veg hating eldest daughter ate it and said it was yum and thats after I told her what was in it.  So out to get more ingrediance this weekend and to make some more.

Ok whilst I am out I better buy some new clothes too as at this rate I wont fit my old ones.

Chocolate beetrot cake is delicious; my recipe came from another forum though.
