Courgette Lime Pudding Cake

Posted 2016-04-25 by Bastion Harrison ⇒ follow

This courgette and lime cake is made quick and easy by cooking it in the microwave rather than the oven, which gives it a more pudding-like texture and appearance.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 - 15 minutes (depending on your microwave)
Makes: 10 servings

Ingredients
4 eggs
100g coconut oil
240g self-raising wholemeal flour
6 tbsp plain yoghurt
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 limes
1 courgette
3 tbsp Truvia sweetener (or 150g caster sugar)
1 tsp baking powder
60g pistachios
150g cream cheese
900g icing sugar
75g butter

Method

Zest and juice one lime.

Blitz the pistachios.

Blitz the courgette in a food processor, and then mix in the yoghurt, coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, lime zest and juice, and 45g pistachios.

Fold in the flour and baking powder, then pour mixture into a pudding basin.

Cook in the microwave on full power for between 5 -15 minutes depending on your microwave. You should take it out every five minutes, and pierce it with a skewer to check if it is done. If cake mix is on the skewer put it back in the microwave.

Take out of the basin and allow the cake to cool.

Beat together the butter and cream cheese, while gradually adding icing sugar.

Pour the buttercream over the cake and spread all over. (you will have a lot of buttercream left over, which you can freeze and save for another cake).

Sprinkle the remain pistachios on top.
