LEMON & PISTACHIO COURGETTE CAKE
Description
I never used to bake because it required the discipline of following a recipe and I’m not that kind of gal.
But I’ve realised that as long as there are equal quantities of butter, sugar and flour, I can play around a little. Use half flour & half ground almonds. Add fruit, carrots or courgettes. Lemon, orange zest and juice to boost flavour.
I’m mixing it up and having fun. This one was so good my guests asked if they could take some home - the ultimate compliment♥️
This cake will keep in the fridge for a few days. You can also freeze it and take it out in smaller portions to enjoy, but I doubt it will hang around that long!
