Courgette Cake
200g butter, softened at room temperature (1 ¾ stick)
200g caster sugar (1 cup)
2 eggs
150g zucchini (about 2 small ones)
1 small apple
200g plain flour (1.6 cups)
Large pinch salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
Large pinch cinnamon
60g pecans (half cup, chopped)
80g sultanas (half cup, packed)
Preheat oven at 180°C (fan-forced 160°C). Grease and line the base of a loaf tin measuring 20cm x 12cm x 9cm deep. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat eggs and mix them in, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Meanwhile, coarsely grate zucchini and apple. Squeeze them with your hands to remove any excess moisture, then add to mixture. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon, and gently fold into mixture. Stir in nuts and fruit. Transfer to lined loaf tin and bake for 60-65 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch. Allow to cool in tin before turning out.
Note: to keep the apples from turning dark and therefore keeping the crumb from turning too dark, use the apples immediately after using. Your cake will remain more golden. Walnuts may be used in place of pecans. Golden raisins are also a nice touch, as is an extra huge addition of cinnamon, if that’s what you like.
