    This document provides a recipe for a marrow and chocolate cake. It instructs the reader to cream together butter, brown sugar, and vanilla essence before mixing in cocoa powder. Separately, self-raising flour and baking powder are mixed. Eggs are gradually added to the creamed mixture along with flour and milk. Grated marrow is then mixed in. The cake is baked at 180C for 50 minutes as a loaf or 15-20 minutes as fairy cakes. The recipe yields a very moist and chocolatey cake that is best eaten soon after baking.

    Marrow & Chocolate Cake

    As requested, adapted from a Co-op recipe...

    Cream together 150g butter/marg with 100g soft brown sugar (recipe said 150g). Then mix in 1 tsp vanilla essence & 2 tbsp
    cocoa powder. The mixture should be light and fluffy.

    In a separate bowl, weigh out 250g self-raising flour & 1 tsp baking powder.

    Gradually add 2 large eggs to the creamed mixture along with a little of the flour to help absorb the liquid. (I used 3 small
    eggs instead)

    Then mix in the rest of the flour, 2 tbsps of milk and approximately 200g of grated, peeled & de-seeded
    marrow/courgette/zucchini. (I was overly enthusiastic and added 250g- it worked out fine!)

    If you're making it as a loaf cake, cook at 180 degrees centigrade/Gas Mark 4 for approximately 50 mins. Alternatively fairy
    cakes would take 15-20 mins.

    It was very moist & very chocolatey.

    The recipe declared that it was best eaten fairly swiftly but that it did freeze well. After we'd tried a slice each we decided
    that eating it 'fairly swiftly' wasn't going to be a problem....(freezing it- well I'd probably have to make another cake to test
    that theory...)
