Mini Courgette Cakes
Carrot cake is a common coffee shop favourite up and down the U.K. Everyone seems to have accepted that carrots can be enjoyed in cake form. And yet when I mention courgette cake I often get some funny looks. But why should it be any different? It’s just another root vegetable after all.
I have been thinking about what other root vegetables could be incorporated into baking. Obviously ginger cake is another common flavour and beetroot goes really well in chocolate brownies. I wonder what sweet potato or parsnip would taste like in a cake? Maybe that’s one for a future experimental bake!
On another note, The Great British Bake off has started again – my TV highlight of the year! Crazy to think I almost applied to be on this season. After the first episode I’ve decided that Richard is my favourite, I think he is going to do very well! I’m hoping I’ll get some inspiration from the Bake Off for some future bakes so stay tuned!
