Cake or not cake...

 

If you guessed that it might be a chocolate or walnut cake with vanilla icing then you are wrong!

In fact this is a savoury cake with cream cheese 😁. A rather unusual recipe!

Yes, zucchini pie. As you can see above I used 1 zucchini, 1 egg, around 4 tbs of self-raising flour, 1&1/2 tsp of baking powder, cheese ( with this ingredient you can be generous, there is never enough of it 😉),

sausage and bacon, 1 small onion, 2 small garlic cloves,  a little bit of milk, also you can also add hard boiled eggs chopped into small pieces. I didn’t do it because my family prefer to have the boiled egg separately on the plate. 

After all the ingredients  are mixed, I placed it into the oven for about 45-50 min at 160c. I used the cake toothpick technique to check if its done in the middle. 

One time I was making a vegetarian version of this recipe and to make it richer I added small pieces of boiled potato. 

When it was done I cooled it down and then put cheese spread on top.

I wanted to create something different which would please also people who don’t like sweet cakes. We didn’t have any celebration so I made the decoration very simple.

I served it with tomato salad, Cavallo Nero with mushrooms and garlic and ‘French potatoes’.

I wonder If anyone would have any suggestions to how to improve the recipe?
