Everything You Need To Know About Vegan Courgette Cakes

by Fabian Jackson

3min read

Substituting ingredients in free-from cakes can prove tricky in terms of flavour and texture, but not least of all the food science that means your cake will rise, bake and stay together. Could courgette cakes be the answer? 

In traditional baking, everything has its role; from the gluten in the flour to the emulsifier and rising agent. When allergies and dietary requirements come into play the chemical changes that your batter undergoes needs to be reconsidered.

This simple recipe for a plant-based courgette cake comes from one of our favourite bloggers, Domestic Gothess. 

‘It is a perfect light, teatime cake that isn't overly sweet so it is great for snacking, or even for breakfast! The courgette keeps it moist so it will last well for about four days in an airtight container.’
