Savoury Cake

Did anybody say cake? We all love cake, a slice of our favourite cake with a cup of coffee or tea makes life tastes a lot better.

However, cake doesn’t always have to be sweet, it can also be savoury and still can be enjoyed with coffee or tea for breakfast or a snack.




Ingredients:

4 large eggs
250 mils milk
200 mils sunflower or corn oil
1 red pepper diced finely
1 green pepper diced finely
2 spring onion diced finely
2 tomatoes pealed and diced same size as the peppers
2 potatoes grated
Salt to taste (I usually add one teaspoon)
Pepper to taste
Oregano about half a spoon
400 gms sifted flour
20 gms baking powder
300 gms feta cheese crumbled

Method
After grating the potatoes squeeze them very well to get rid of the water
In a bowl add the grated potatoes and all the diced vegetables and mix them really well
Beat the eggs and add them to the mixture stirring well
Add the remaining ingredients and make sure everything is well mixed together
Oil a 30 cm oven dish
Pour the mixture and bake at a pre heated 180 degrees oven for 45 minutes

Enjoy it with your loved ones for breakfast or afternoon tea.
