From the forum:
4 oz butter
6oz SR flour
6 oz sugar
2 eggs
2 heaped tbsp cocoa powder, or more to taste, depending how richly chocolatey you like it
1 medium courgette, grated
milk to mix
Cream butter and sugar well, add beaten eggs, then beat in flour and cocoa, then add grated courgette. Mix to soft dropping consistency with milk, then into prepared loaf tin. Bake in a medium - hot oven approx 40 minutes or so until risen and frim to the touch. Turn out and cool on wire rack. It turns out chocolate coloured with wee green streaks in it
You can ice it on the top with icing of your choice, or split it into 2 or 3 lengthways and sandwich together with chocolate butter icing; even better is Green & Black's chocolate and hazelnut spread.
I think it would be nice with a hefty dose of ginger instead of the chocolate too.
