Mary Berry's Courgette Loaf

Got this in the BBC newsletter this morning - thought it highly appropriate with the day of the courgettes fast approaching in this house

This loaf cake is an unusual way to use courgettes and makes a great snack, teatime treat or even an unusual breakfast. It can be eaten straight from the fridge, or toasted, and is extra delicious with a generous spreading of butter.

Ingredients
3 eggs
275ml/9fl oz sunflower oil
350g/12oz caster sugar
350g/12oz courgettes (or small marrows), grated
165g/5&;oz plain flour
165g/5&;oz buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
2tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
175g/6oz raisins
150g/5oz walnuts, chopped

Makes 2 x 900g/2lb loaves

Method
1.Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and base line two 900g/2lb loaf tins with greased greaseproof paper.
2. Measure all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix well to make a thick batter. Pour into the prepared tins.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about one hour or until the loaves are firm and a fine skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool the cakes a little before turning out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack.
4. Store in the fridge and use within a week or freeze and defrost when needed.

Do people really keep cakes in the fridge?

The recipe sounds good, BTW.

Home made cakes never last long enough to cool down enough to put in the fridge Smile
