Best Chocolate Courgette Cake Recipe. Ever. Fact. Sunday Baking

Courgettes in chocolate cake. I know. It’s weird. In fact, my children think it’s a frankly horrific suggestion. So I didn’t tell them. And the echoes of joy as the experience of this moist, dense, rich-yet-light chocolate cake hit their brains was enough to tell that hiding green vegetables in delicious cake can only ever be a Very Good Thing.
