Chocolate Courgette cake

Somethings have to be tried to be believed!

Foodie child (the 5 year old) deemed this one of the best chocolate cakes he'd ever tasted, he did this shortly after tasting the soup and deciding it needed a little pepper to get it just right. Love this child! He'll be a gourmet chef by the time I leave!!! Now the children have no idea that there was courgette in the cake since I went against the recipe and peeled the courgettes before grating them, I thought the green bits may have been a little off putting for the little ones.

You can see the original recipe here.

Now I've decided that next time I make this yummy wonder I'll make it with slightly sweeter chocolate as we had to serve it with creme fraisch or cream to take the edge off, but these children do like rich chocolate tastes, which I think is only a good thing! This gives an intense chocolate hit without all the fattiness of a normal chocolate cake. You only need a little slice to get your chocolate hit.

If there's any left in the morning I shall take a photo, but I highly doubt it!!!
