Ingredients

  • 225g flour
  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 3 eggs
  • 300g sugar
  • 315ml corn oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 225g courgettes,grated

Method

Step 1

Preheat a 180°C oven. Grease 2 5½×4½ in (13×11cm) tins or 1 9×5 in (23×13cm) tin.

Step 2

Stir the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg, and stir to blend.

With an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and pale. With a wooden spoon, stir in the oil, vanilla and courgettes.

Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over mix the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake in the middle of the oven until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, about 1 hour for 2 smaller tins or 11/4 hours for a larger tin.

Step 6

Let cool in the tins on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then unmould onto the wire rack to cool completely.
