- Melt the chocolate and butter (or low-fat spread) over a pan of gently boiling water, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until thick. Pour in the melted chocolate, then fold together until combined. Gently fold in the flour, followed by the grated courgette.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes.
