I have an abundance of courgettes this year and therefore am trying out lots of receipies at the moment. so far this has to be my favorite mainly because it is the first time my children have eaten courgettes without a grumble! Like Sarah I mopped up some of the excess fluid from the courgettes with a clean t-towel and used wholemeal plain flour as the wheat abosorbs the moisture. The end result was terrific with plenty left over to make a small loaf tin sized cake which has gone in the freezer for our forthcoming camping trip. Let's hope I can resist the temptation to eat it.

Worth trying just for the entertainment of getting your office guessing whats in it!
I substituted 150 grams of nutella for the oil and also used kitchen towel to reduce the moisture of the courgettes as my first effort was a bit soggy.
It also makes a fantastic dinner party pudding served hot with either custard or ice cream-very similar to sticky toffee pudding especially with a blob of nutella melted over it!

You should try this one. We did with the glut of courgettes from our allotment. It is deliciously moist and chocolatey – just the way chocolate cake should be. I have been looking for just such a recipe as a lot of chocolate cakes are very dry.
