Question 6

Can I really add courgette to a lemon cake and will I taste the courgette?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add courgette to a lemon cake! The courgette adds moisture and a subtle texture without overpowering the lemon flavour. In most cases, the courgette’s taste is mild and blends seamlessly into the cake, allowing the lemon to remain the star of the show. It also provides an additional nutritional boost.

Question 7

What is the best way to remove the moisture from courgettes before baking the cake?

Accepted Answer

The best way to remove moisture from courgettes is to grate them finely and then place the grated courgettes in a clean kitchen towel. Twist and squeeze the towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.

Question 8

How can I tell when the courgette and lemon cake is fully baked?

Accepted Answer

To determine if your courgette and lemon cake is fully baked, insert a skewer or toothpick into the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it, the cake is done. Additionally, the edges of the cake should start to pull away from the sides of the pan, and the top should spring back when lightly pressed.

Question 9

How can I make Mob's courgette and lemon cake healthier without sacrificing flavour?

Accepted Answer

To make Mob’s courgette and lemon cake healthier, consider using whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend instead of plain flour. Replace some or all of the sugar with natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, and use plant-based milk and oils instead of dairy. Adding some ground nuts or seeds can also boost the nutritional value without compromising flavour.

Question 10

Can I make courgette and lemon cake ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can make courgette and lemon cake ahead of time. The cake can be baked a day or two in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, it can be refrigerated or frozen.

Question 11

How long can I keep courgette and lemon cake in the fridge or freezer?

Accepted Answer

Courgette and lemon cake can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days if stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw the cake in the fridge overnight before serving.

Question 12

What are some tips for preventing a lemon courgette cake from sticking to the pan?

Accepted Answer

To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease the pan thoroughly with butter or oil and line the bottom with parchment paper. Additionally, you can lightly dust the greased pan with flour or sugar for extra insurance against sticking.

Question 13

What are some common mistakes to avoid when baking courgette and lemon cake?

Accepted Answer

Common mistakes to avoid include not properly squeezing out excess moisture from the courgettes, overmixing the batter (which can make the cake dense), and baking at an incorrect temperature. Ensure your oven is preheated and use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature.

Question 14

How can I ensure that the courgettes don’t make the lemon cake too dense or soggy?

Accepted Answer

To avoid a dense or soggy cake, make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated courgettes. Additionally, measure your ingredients accurately and avoid overmixing the batter. Incorporating the courgettes gently and evenly throughout the batter will help maintain a light and airy texture.
