Courgettes add the same moistness to cake that carrots do, and literally melt away in the cooking process.

Ingredients

  • 250g courgettes, grated
  • 100g raisins
  • 4 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 175ml sunflower oil
  • 200g light muscovado sugar
  • 225g self raising flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • Zest of 1 orange

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4. Line a 12 hole muffin tin.
  2. Squeeze the grated courgettes by hand to drain the excess moisture and pat dry. Put the raisins in a saucepan with the juice and honey and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sultanas are plump and the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. Put the eggs, sunflower oil and sugar in a large bowl and whisk with an electric beater for 4 minutes, until creamy. Sift over the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Fold in the grated courgettes, drained sultanas and orange zest. Spoon into muffin cases and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
