Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

  2. Add oil, sugar, and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl and beat until combined.

  3. Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt (the mixture will be thick and dry; add a tiny splash of water if needed to help stir).

  4. Gently stir in the grated courgette, then set aside for 5 minutes to allow juices to release.

  6. Pour batter into a small greased baking tin  and bake for approximately 20–30 minutes (check for doneness based on tin size).
