Background:
Recently, I got an idea from a friend to use vegetables in cakes to make them healthier. After seeing examples in a garden centre, I decided to search for courgette cakes. Eventually, I found this one and decided to give it a go!

Recommendation and Rating:
Overall a decent cake! I’m not the biggest chocolate cake fan, but this one tasted pretty good! The cake was soft, the icing was creamy and the flavours of dark chocolate and orange blended nicely. The sponge had a nice texture and you couldn’t taste the courgette at all, which is what you wanted. The recipe was straight forward to follow but grating the courgette, orange zest and chocolate shavings became a tedious task. And so it gets 4 stars!
