Possibly a chocolate beetroot cake If you look on the LH panel on that recipe, there are sweet recipes using amongst others, courgette, marrow and pumpkin

I can vouch for MrsM's courgette muffins they are GORGEOUS :drool::drool::drool:

We had a huge glut of courgettes last year from our allotment and I made loads and froze them, even my pal who hated courgettes thought they were delicious and they are SO easy to make! :T

I've just made six big cakes with the courgette teabread recipe. I made them with a bagful of courgettes that a guy at work gave me (he has loads of them in his allotment and I didn't say no)

They're really yummy. I'm going to freeze most of them.

I would never have thought of making cakes with courgettes. Sometimes they are sold off cheaply at work. I will get some and give it a try.
