Apple and Courgette Cake

Ingredients
250g courgette, coarsely grated
200g self raising flour
150g caster sugar
50g soft brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
250g cooking apple, cored and grated
100g sultanas
2 medium eggs, beaten
50ml rapeseed oil

Method
1. Heat oven to 180C / 160C fan / Gas4.
2. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and bicarbonate of soda. Squeeze any excess moisture from the courgettes and add them to the flour with the apple and sultanas. Stir to mix – you should have a fairly wet mixture.
3 Beat the eggs and oil together and stir into the cake mixture. Scrape into the cake tin and bake for 45 minutes–1 hour until risen and firm. A skewer inserted into the middle should come out clean. Turn the cake out and cool on a wire rack.

Status
Tried (21/8/11) - only used 150g of flour and think it needed a bit more - otherwise very nice!
28/8/11 - tried it with all apples instead of courgette / apple - worked fine - very nice, although still quite 'dense'.
