Coconut, lime and blueberry slice, from Harry Eastwood's Red Velvet & Chocolate Heartache.

This is a courgette cake, and, as i have an excess of the green truncheons, i was determined to make something more than just endless griddling (with mint, delicious).

It has a 'pastry' base of coconut mixed with sugar and butter. Unnecessary, probably. I didn't crisp the base quite enough .. coconut burns so quickly, i was over cautious.









2 eggs, sugar, a LARGE courgette very finely grated (a minute in a barrel grater, no sweat), zest and juice of 2 limes, gluten free flour and baking powder, salt and a generous cup of frozen blueberries.

Again, i didn't give it quite long enough in the oven (although a deal more than the recipe states). The flavour was fabulous - lime and blueberries are perfect companions - i think the sponge will probably stand alone from the coconut base and that is how i will try it next time. It is worth another attempt.
