Cream together 150g Butter/ Marg with 100g of soft Brown Sugar. Mix in 1tsp Vanilla Essence and 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, weigh out 250g Self-Raising Flour and a tsp of Baking Powder.
Gradually add 2 Large Eggs to the creamed mixture along with a little of the flour to help absorb the liquid.
Then, mix in the rest of the flour, 2 tbsps of Milk and approximately 200g of grated, peeled and de-seeded marrow, courgette or zucchini.
If you're making a loaf cake, cook at 180c for approximately 50mins. Alternatively fairy cakes would take 15-20mins.
It was very moist and very chocolatey!
The recipe declared that it was best eaten fairly swiftly but that it did freeze well. After we'd tried a slice each we decided that eating it 'fairly swiftly' wasn't going to be a problem...
Thank you so much to another of our wonderful Mums for the delicious cupcakes and for passing on your recipe!
