  Recommend draning the grated courgette, took longer to cook in the middle which caused the edges to by dry. Used pecans instead of walnuts and added orange zest. Lovely flavour.

  great tea time cake enjoyed by all. Will definitely make it again and again! Also great way to use up courgettes. I used walnut oil and as it has walnuts, the taste didn´t stand out.

  Lovely cake, nice and moist, I did pat dry the courgettes before adding them to the ingredients. I cooked the cake for an extra 15 mins because it was too wet after an hour. Will make again everyone liked it.

  Decided to try this as I had some courgettes needing to be used up. Finished result was good,but I personally think its not sweet enough (normally I reduce the amount of sugar in baking recipes because I find them too sweet) so if I did make again, I would be inclined to add a bit more sugar. I substituted mixed fruit for sultanas and pecans for walnuts -also only used half amount of nuts as I thought 85g was too much for this recipe. I used food processor to grate courgettes, so they were quite fine but you can still see them in the loaf - so dont grate them coasely unless you're happy to eat lumps of courgette!

  I'm upgrading this to 5 stars as I cannot stop eating it since I made it yesterday! I also want to take back comment about sweetness, I think its sweet enough. I definitely recommend giving this recipe a go.
