Makes 35 brownie-sized squares.

A great way to sneak veg into reluctant children’s diets!

Directions

Follow the instructions here: http://notjustgreenfingers.wordpress.com/2012/08/09/chocolate-courgette-traybake-potatoes-and-slugs/

My variations were:

• I used butter, not margarine.
• I only had 400g courgettes, so that’s what I used.
• I didn’t have cocoa powder, so I used some fancy Montezuma’s Real Chocolate for Drinking that’s been languishing in the back of the cupboard since a few Christmases ago! This is why my cake has a speckled effect instead of looking like chocolate cake.
• I used a food processor until the point of folding in the flour; this I did by hand.
• My batter didn’t need any milk to achieve dropping consistency.
• In my gas oven the tray bake took over an hour to cook; the instructions said 35 mins!

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
