We’re here to change your way of thinking why courgette cakes are not popular in Ireland. Perhaps it’s because courgettes are associated with savoury recipes. This delicious loaf cake baked with love by Shane Smith is super easy to make and packed with flavour. The creamy lemon buttercream adds a touch of class. The courgettes keep this cake deliciously soft & moist.
