Have you ever grown courgettes yourself? If you haven’t grown them before and you fancy yourself as a gardener, courgettes are 100% the summer thing to grow. They just grow and grow, often giving a glut of them to cook up in various ways. If that’s not reason enough to grow some, two more words: Courgette Cake. It’s SO GOOD. A delicious texture, all made in one bowl, and a portion of veg as a bonus. To me, this is one of the tastes of summer. Even if you’re not a gardener, please buy some courgettes and try this Courgette Cake recipe!

You could also use bare clean hands or a sieve. Be sure to use the coarse side of your grater or food processor setting for your courgettes. I’ve used a fine one before and the texture wasn’t quite as good. they will be too mushy if you use a very fine grater. When you make your cream cheese frosting, mix very softly and slowly to avoid the icing getting too runny. If it does go a little runny, pop into the fridge for an hour to firm up. You could try a simplified cream cheese icing recipe instead if you’d rather. Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
