Marrow cake

Amazingly moist

Have just made this marrow cake found I have to reduce the sugar to 200g as before it was too sweet. Just made another batch as the family love it and its a way of getting rid of the marrows that have been grown, well actually they were corguettes. Experimenting by putting walnuts and other fruit in at the moment. No one in liked marrow but they do now, although they are not told what the cake is made of until afterwards. Now being asked for the recipe by family and friends. Also I sprinkle some sugar on top just before baking to make a nice topping on the cake.

My first review on here. This cake is lovely. I shall be making it again. I used the stated amount of sugar and found it just right. It does take longer to cook though as previously said. I needed to add another 20 minutes.

Lovely cake. All my family loved it including my husband who claims to not like marrow!!!

Was given a very large marrow so searched for chutney recipies but came across this cake. Looked at the other comments so only used 200g sugar, generously sprinkled the top with demerarra sugar and baked for 50 mins at 180c and has come out fine. I will make it again and will add sultanas or grated apple. As it made 2 loafs I will give 1 to my kind neighbour who gave me the marrow.

Lovely cake, very tasty and moist, easy to make but it took an hour and a half to cook rather than 45 minutes

Loved this cake and so did everyone who had a piece. Too much sugar for me in recipe though so I cut it down to 350g caster sugar. Will make again but I'll only use 250-300g of sugar.

I used a little less sugar but it was still too sweet for our taste. Also took a good hour in our oven. Overall an easy tasty cake though!

Used different ingredients. Used more marrow (around 300g), and replaced the cinnamon and nutmeg with 4 tsp of mixed spice.

My daughter and I just made this cake in time for my wife to have for tea when she came home. She was a little suspicious when she spotted half a marrow in the kitchen, and I had to dissuade her from having it with custard like a pudding. The result? A lovely moist, tasty cake and a happy wife. Oh and another cake in the freezer for later.
