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:
