Courgette, Lemon & Olive Oil Cake Courgette migh Courgette, Lemon & Olive Oil Cake Courgette might not be the first ingredient you think of when it comes to cake, but here it brings a beautifully moist, tender crumb. Paired with lemon, fennel and good olive oil, then finished with a silky mascarpone icing, this is a lovely bake for making the most of seasonal courgettes with Stonegate Estate eggs at the heart of it. Serves 10–12 You’ll need: 250g plain flour 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda ½ tsp fine sea salt 225g caster sugar Zest of 3 unwaxed lemons 3 tsp fennel seeds, lightly crushed 3 large Stonegate Estate eggs 200ml good-quality extra virgin olive oil 60g thick Greek yoghurt 1 tsp vanilla extract 275g courgettes, coarsely grated For the icing: 250g mascarpone 75g icing sugar, sifted Zest of 1 lemon 2 tbsp good-quality extra virgin olive oil A small pinch of fine sea salt Demerara sugar To make: Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a 35 x 20cm baking tin. Drain the grated courgette for 10 minutes, then gently squeeze out any excess moisture. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. In a separate bowl, rub the sugar, lemon zest and fennel seeds together until fragrant. Add the eggs and whisk until pale and thickened. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, yoghurt and vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture, followed by the courgettes. Spoon into the tin and bake for 50–65 minutes, until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool completely. For the icing, gently mix the mascarpone, icing sugar, lemon zest and salt, then fold in the olive oil until smooth and silky. Spread generously over the cooled cake and chill for 25–30 minutes. Finish with a scattering of demerara sugar, a little extra lemon zest and, if you like, a final drizzle of your best olive oil. A fresh, seasonal bake made for slow summer afternoons.

Coarsely grate the remaining cob into a bowl, catching all of its sweet juices, then add the kernels. Mix in the egg yolks, spring onions, Cheddar, herbs and melted butter. Combine the flour and baking powder, season well, then fold into the corn mixture. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Fold a third into the batter, followed gently by the rest. Leave to rest for 20 minutes. Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add generous spoonfuls of batter, flatten slightly and cook for 3–4 minutes until deeply golden and crisp. Turn and cook for a further 2–3 minutes. Meanwhile, poach the eggs in gently simmering water with 2 tbsp cider vinegar for 3–4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks remain beautifully soft. Fresh eggs make all the difference when poaching. Serve three fritters per plate, topped with a poached Stonegate Estate egg, fresh chives, black pepper and a pinch of flaky sea salt. A lovely way to make the most of late summer.
There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about home There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about homemade ice cream on a warm summer’s day. Gill Meller’s honey ice cream is a simple celebration of the season, made with rich custard, fragrant honey and our organic Stonegate Estate eggs. Finished with a scattering of toasted almonds, it’s the sort of pudding that’s made for slow afternoons, shared around the garden table. Prep time 1 hour (plus freezing time) | Cook time 8 minutes | Serves 8-10 Ingredients: 500ml organic whole milk
500ml organic double cream
8 Stonegate Estate Organic egg yolks
100g runny honey
100g golden caster sugar Method: Place the milk and cream into a heavy based pan with the honey and the sugar. Set the pan over a medium heat and bring to a tremulous simmer, stirring regularly. Meanwhile divide the eggs. Place the yolks in a large bowl, cover a refrigerate the whites for another recipe, meringue perhaps? When the cream and honey mixture has simmered, take it off the heat and pour it over the yolks, whisking as you go. Transfer the custard back into a clean saucepan and return to a medium heat, and cook, stirring continuously until the custard has thickened. Don’t let it boil or it may split. Pass the custard through a sieve into a bowl, cover and refrigerate. Once the custard is cold, churn in the bowl of an ice cream machine until soft set. Remove the ice cream from the machine and place in a suitable container and freeze. Remove the ice cream 15 to 20 minutes before you intend to eat. Serve in bowls or scoop into cones, sprinkle with toasted almonds and an extra trickle of honey if you like.
