Chocolate Courgette Cake

Hi, my name is Anita. I love bread baking, especially sourdough breads, cheese making and cooking from scratch. My favorite cuisines are French and Asian. Most recipes here are in English; some are in Dutch. If one is to your liking, let me know: I will be glad to translate.
