      Was skeptical.. Delicious! Passed the husband, 5yo and vege hating 2yo test with flying colours. Going to reduce the sugar by at least half next batch - which I dare say won't be far away!

      Made this again recently as muffins and mini muffins. I used the actual weight as noted above rather than the number of each veg/fruit and I strained the F&V really, really well. They turned out great! Potentially on the dry side but I ran out of self raising flour and had to substitute half with plain flour and baking powder so not sure if that affected them at all but they were so much better than my last attempt at the loaf which had a soggy bottom and ended up going bad and into the bin. My fussy kids loved them and keep asking for more so thank you!!!

      Hey there! Love this recipe!! Have successfully made it once and not so successfully twice haha. Have screenshot your measurement of the f&v in grams for next time and was wondering if I were to make these as muffins or mini muffins, how long would you suggest cooking and at what temp?

        Hi Sandra, I would suggest cooking at the same temperature and check between 22-25 minutes. 🙂

      Hi Lucy, it would help me greatly if you could mention grams instead of medium size carrot, apple and zucchini. Opinions might be different to everyone what might be medium. If you could measure the weight of the average size you use, maybe that would also help the people who ended up with a soggy cake? Thanks ever so much for your help. It looks and sounds amazing and I would really like to try. Have so many zucchini's from garden at present, I need to find ways to use them, aside from the usual stir fries, soups etc. XXX

        Hi there, of course! I would suggest:
        110g carrot
        100g apple
        200g zucchini
        You can definitely alter these amounts slightly if you like!
        To avoid any sogginess, make sure all of the liquid is squeezed out of the grated zucchini.
        Good luck!

      I tried making this and took all of your comments above into consideration and it was a disaster. It was in the oven for 90 minutes. 40 uncovered then 50 minutes covered with foil. I used olive oil instead of coconut oil and coconut sugar instead of caster. The result is a ver sad, burnt, raw, sunk in the middle loaf!

        Hi Amy, we're so sorry to hear that! I would most definitely stick to the recipe using coconut oil and caster sugar. Try turning your oven up a little but still adding foil if you find that it's browning too much next time. 🙂 xx

      Lucy can you please double check this recipe? I’ve made it twice and it’s turned out really soggy and overmoist both times. Not soft with a light crumb like yours. It’s really frustrating! I took photos of the results if you’re curious.

        Hi Natasha, this is a regular in our house and it's moist inside but lovely on top. The trick is to really squeeze out absolutely all the liquid from the veggies. You may also want to try increasing your oven temp. xx

        Hi, I am having the same issue, soggy at bottom of cake even thought I increased cooking time by 10 mins. I have just made a second attempt, just out of the oven and cooling. I paid particular attention to removing excess liquid from the zuccini but still had to cook for additional 20 mins, testing with skewer in between. Hopefully this will be better (althought first attempt was delicious).
        Should I try increasing the temperature to 200 rather than cook longer?
        Thanks you for sharing.

          Hi Dennis, it can absolutely vary depending on your particular oven. I would try and increase the temperature to 200 and see if that helps. 🙂

      Thank you for this. Wonder do you have any thoughts on leaving caster sugar out? I am trying this for a toddler and trying to reduce sugar (she’s not a great eater at best of times so would love for her food to be more savoury than sweet). Any other recommendations that I could replace the caster sugar with? Thank you!

        Hi Alison, I haven't made it myself with less or no caster sugar so the best advice I have is to experiment and see if your daughter likes it! Hehehe I have a toddler too so I totally get it!
