Courgette cake

It’s green, but if you can get past that it is good (I suppose if it bothered you you could peel the courgettes. But I kind of like green cake.) Recipe ripped off from somewhere, obviously, but I can’t remember where to give credit.

200g butter
200g caster sugar
2 eggs
150g courgettes
200g plain flour
pinch salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
large pinch cinnamon
100g sultanas

Set oven to 180C and line a loaf tin.
Cream the butter and sugar; mix in the beaten eggs. Grate the courgettes, squeeze to remove any excess juice then stir into the mixture. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon and mix well. Add sultanas; put in tin and bake for about an hour*. Cool in the tin before turning out.

*The hour was definitely from the recipe – it takes about 40 minutes in my oven.
