A wierd idea, a savoury cake. But also surprisingly good, easy, tasty, useful for all kinds of meals and what's more, French! I mapied this recipe from a kind stranger after I had tested all three of her versions, left out for event visitors to snack on. I could not wait to try it. And if you look up 'Les Cakes de Sophie', and if your French is up to simple scratch, you could read lots of versions.
Savoury Cake
- 3 eggs
- 100ml sunflower oil
- 150 ml milk
- 150 grams SR flour
Beat the eggs, add the flour and slowly the milk and oil, beating well until you have a batter like mixture. Season with your additions in mind, but at least some salt and pepper
Now add:
1) Mushrooms, chopped and fried, plus olives chopped - as many of each as you think you'd like, perhaps a couple of ounces of mushrooms and a good handful of olives any colour.
2) Chorizo chopped and fried with red peppers, softened or out of a jar. As above the quantity is up to you.
3) Lardons of bacon or sliced ham chopped plus olives.
4) Duck pate and figs!!
Pour into a lined loaf tin, bake at No 180 or equivalent for 45 minutes. Check after 30 to see if it is doing well and not too brown.
Eat hot, warm is best, or cold next day as a nibble, that works.
