Recipe of the Week - Chocolate Zucchini cake

My friend Octavia gave me this recipe Chocolate Zucchini Cake. I have not tried it myself yet but as she raves about it and has a sweet tooth like me I am sure it tastes great!


INGREDIENTS

• 120g softened unsalted butter
• 125ml sunflower oil
• 100g caster sugar
• 200g soft brown sugar
• 3 eggs, lightly beaten
• 130ml milk
• 350g plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 450g Zucchini, peeled and finely grated
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


METHOD

1. Put the butter, sunflower oil and both sugars in a bowl and beat them together until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs and then the milk.

2. Sift the dry ingredients together and fold them into the mixture.

3.Stir in the zucchini and vanilla, then spoon the mixture into a 20 x 35cm baking tin lined with baking parchment.

4. Place in an oven preheated to 190°C/Gas Mark 5 and bake for 35–45 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
