Course Cake, Dessert
Servings 10

Equipment

  • Baking tin (25 cm x 10 cm)

  • Stand mixer / Hand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g wholemeal wheat flour (type 1850)
  • 70 g potato starch
  • 300 g courgette
  • 2 eggs
  • 160 g sugar
  • 100 ml rapeseed oil
  • juice of one lemon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp lemon extract (natural)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Prepare a loaf pan (25cm x 10cm) and line it with baking paper.
  • In a medium bowl mix the dry ingredients (except for the sugar): wholemeal wheat flour, potato starch, baking soda, and baking powder. Make sure to sift them to avoid any lumps.
  • Grate the courgette and set it aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), whip the eggs until they're light and fluffy. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Keep the mixer running and gradually add in the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing for an additional 2 minutes. With the mixer still on, slowly drizzle in the oil.
  • Reduce the speed to low, add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined.
  • Fold in the grated courgette, fresh lemon juice, and lemon extract into the batter using a spoon. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Pop it in the oven for approximately 50-55 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centre of the cake, it should come out clean. I'd recommend doing this a few minutes before the timer goes off.
  • Once the cake has cooled, drizzle it with the lemon icing. Enjoy!
