Courgette, Lemon and Poppyseed Cake

Don–t be put off by the idea of vegetables in a cake – think of carrot cake; the courgettes in this lemony-almondy sponge keep it moist. We use gluten-free four as it absorbs more liquid than ordinary four and gives the cake the best texture but it will work with regular self-raising four if that–s what you have at home.
