Courgette and Cinnamon Bake

We were given this delicious cake/bake in church in Canada 6 hours north of Montreal, off the St Lawrence River, where only during the summer its doors are opened with a visiting vicar. Someone brings in something delicious each week and this is one of them.  Whether a churchgoer or not, yummies and ‘cook outs’ on the beach mean you may go just for the summer!  It was so delicious that I had to ask for the recipe.  I like it for breakfast with a cup of tea or it is perfect for elevenses. This recipe came from Sarah Chick.  I just halved it because the quantity was a party amount, converted to grams, used gluten free self raising flour and added a little more egg.
