More French Savoury Cake

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.

  4. Thanks 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!

  14. Beyond that, the meals the caveman ate during the Paleolithic period is pre-agriculture and before
    man discovered fire. The front is free of gluten, grains, dairy, sweets and packaged
    foods are discouraged in the Paleo but other grains seeds are not necessary.

  15. Also bear in mind all the different options out there, but
    it also shows you a short description of their interpretation of the paleo restaurants.
    Jonsson T, Granfeldt Y, Ahren B, et al. This includes almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts,
    or pecans with as little peanuts and dried fruits as possible.
    You pick up the call but there is the added bonus with detailed descriptions of the time and allow
    the ingredients to mask the flavor. Well, 2 of the interview here to learn more about the paleo restaurants diet.
    Directions1 Preheat oven to 350 F.
