Healthy but Yummy Cake Salé

9:52:00 AM

I brought this Cake Salé (savory cake) for a friends gathering, so I couldn't get good snap shots. But I hope these photos can convey how delicious it was!

It’s a healthy savory cake using olive oil. If you prefer, you may use gluten-free flour instead of regular cake flour. I just used vegetables and chick peas but you can add anything you want, if it’s eatable and suitable for savory cakes.

Here is a recipe:

2. In a bowl, mix olive oil and soy milk. Then add eggs one at a time.

3. Mix Miso with honey and add into the bowl above. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

4. Incorporate flour with BP and all the spices.

5. Toss sautéed vegs, cheese, minced herbs and chick peas in batter and mix well.

Cake Salé is great for branch, lunch or even dinner as an appetizer. It’s delightfully yummy! Enjoy!
