One of your five a day?


So if you add a vegetable into the cake mix does this count as one of your five a day I wonder?! This is a lemon and cucumber cake with gin icing [couldn't really taste the gin despite adding extra to be honest...next time I'll try lemon] I baked for a family birthday yesterday. Surprisingly you could taste the subtle cucumber and it made a really light and summery cake. The recipe along with a whole host of others using vegetables in unexpected ways is from here https://veggiedesserts.co.uk/lemon-cucumber-cake-gin-icing/

    Interesting. I think I might like that cke if it was very fluffy and not dense.
