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!
