🍰 Savory Cakes (Delicious & Versatile)
Savory cakes are like the opposite of sweet cakes—they’re packed with herbs, cheese, vegetables, and sometimes meat. Perfect for brunch, snacks, or a light meal.
Common Types
- Vegetable cakes: zucchini, carrot, or spinach-based
- Cheese cakes: cheddar, feta, or goat cheese
- Meat cakes: chicken, ham, or salmon mixed into batter
- Herb cakes: rosemary, thyme, or parsley for extra flavor
Basic Savory Cake Ingredients
- 1½ cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2–3 eggs
- ½ cup milk or plant-based milk
- ½ cup oil or melted butter
- Fillings: chopped vegetables, cheese, cooked meat, herbs, spices
Instructions (Simple Method)
- Preheat oven: 180°C / 350°F, grease a loaf or cake pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: eggs, milk, oil/butter.
