    Ingredients

    250g plain flour
    2 tsp baking powder

    125g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
    125g light brown muscovado sugar

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Sift together the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until creamy.

    2. Beat in the eggs a tablespoon at a time, followed by the lime zest. Fold in the sifted flour mixture, grated courgettes and the lime juice. Fold in the chocolate curls.

    3. Spoon the mixture into a greased and base-lined 900g loaf tin and level the surface. Bake for 45-50 minutes until well risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.

    4. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Remove the paper and leave to cool. Serve in slices.
