I have blogged about French Savoury Cake before: Here.
But it is good for a second post! This time I added lots of finely chopped herbs (parsley, mint, basil and spring onions), the little mild citrussy chilies I am growing (see in the picture below), feta and olives,
It made a yummy cake.
FRENCH SAVOURY CAKE
150g SR flour (scant 1 ¼ cups) with salt and pepper sifted in large bowl
100 ml oil or melted butter
125 ml milk
3 eggs
Liquids in 2 cup jug, whisk then fold into flour
Fold in additions corn/olives/cheese/capsicum/sorrel/herbs etc
In oiled, lined white loaf pan
210C oven for 10 minutes then 180C 30 minutes
I used a mixture of yoghurt and milk instead of all milk, it is my favourite for anything containing baking powder because it has that bit extra acid to help the process, and the taste!
And I use a mixture of butter and oil: and a bit less than given in the recipe.
This is such a treat. I often have it as an accompaniment to soup, but I enjoyed a couple of slices of this with my afternoon cup of tea! (You can see the bite I had to have before I took the photo. VERY yummy!)
Here are the ingredients. Look at those lovely farm eggs! So golden.

ReplyDeleteWhat makes it especially 'French'?

Feta and olives in savoury cake, great idea, thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine recipe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments peeps! Hi anonymous, this is where I was introduced to the idea: http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=48281 If you can follow the link you will see they were popular in France and that I got the recipe from a Frenchwoman. That is as French as it gets I think!
ReplyDeletePS Anonymous, what English Savoury Cake recipes do you have? I'd love to see more ideas!
ReplyDeleteCheese & Walnut is a favourite in our house..........but I have others.
ReplyDeleteI will find a couple & come back to you.
As for the 'frenchness' of this recipe.........I see what you mean from the link........goes to show there is nothing new under the sun, is there!
Thanks Anonymous! Cheese and walnut sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that so much counts on when and where you first come across an idea!

By the way, thank you for posting the application. I have saved and printed the form, however, I have no idea if my doctor will approve of my interest. I am apprehensive about completing and submitting it unless I am certain my chronic pain does qualify. I cannot draw attention to myself due to my profession.
