Here's the recipe I promised for the courgette cake that I made at my do........ best eaten warm or cold rather than hot.
150 g flour (5 oz)
200 g bacon bits (7 oz)
400 g grated skinned courgette (14 oz) (No, don't skin, no need!!!)
1 sliced onion
3 eggs
2 tablespoons of oil
2 or 3 tablespoons of milk
100 g grated cheese (4 oz) (Cheddar, Gruyere or even goat cheese)
Fry the bacon in a little oil. Once they are well fried, dry them on some kitchen paper towel. Then fry the onion until golden brown. Leave to cool.
Put the flour in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper.
Make a well in the middle and put the oil and the eggs in. Mix slowly until you obtain a smooth mixture. Add the milk and mix again. Add the grated courgette gradually while you keep on mixing. Finally add the bacon, the onion followed by the cheese.
Grease a round cake tin, pour in the cake mixture and put in a hot oven. Temperature: 180 °C, 350 °F. Cook for 1 hour.
Once the cake is cooked, turn it out on a dish. It is ready to serve hot or warm accompanied with a salad.
