Ingredients
For the cake
- 300 g zucchini 10.5oz, grated
- 200 g all-purpose flour 7oz
- 100 g caster sugar
- 70 g coconut oil melted, 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon
- 60 g desiccated coconut shredded coconut, sweetened, 2oz
- 2 egg large
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp coconut extract optional
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 lemon zest only
Elderflower glaze
- 100 g icing sugar powdered sugar, 3.5oz
- 2 tbsp elderflower cordial optional
- 2-3 tbsp lemon juice or as needed
- elderflowers fresh or lemon zest, to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F) and carefully grease a small (8-cup) bundt tin with butter. Dust with flour, shaking out any excess. Alternatively line a small loaf tin with baking paper.
- Coarsely grate the courgettes using a food processor or box grater.
- Place in a sieve and sprinkle with the salt. Mix together with your hands and leave to stand for 5 minutes.
- Use a muslin cloth or your hands to wring out as much moisture as you can.
- Use a stand or hand mixer to whisk the eggs, sugar and oil until well combined.
- Add the grated courgette and mix in. Fold in the lemon zest, shredded coconut and coconut extract
- Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Fold in the dry ingredients, making sure there are no dry pockets of flour in the batter.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared tin and level. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cake is springy to the touch, coming away from the sides of the tin and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Transfer to a wire rack and carefully turn out. Leave to cool completely.
- Mix the icing sugar, cordial and lemon juice together in a bowl until you have a fairly thick consistency. If the glaze is too thin add more icing sugar and if it's too thick add a few more drops lemon juice or water. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and serve.
