Courgette cake recipe help please...

[Twinkle]

Last week I made the wonderful courgette cake from the Foodie Site - the one with cream cheese & orange icing.
Anyway - I made it straight from the website. Now my friend wants the recipe and the site appears to have gone down and I can't get it

I don't suppose any of the grapes have it written down anywhere ??

Thanks in advance
