Light Savory Zucchini Plumcake
Description
Although many are accustomed to the sweet version of plumcake to be dunked in milk, this preparation is also very tasty in a light and savoury version , as demonstrated by our recipe for light savoury courgette plumcake .
By preparing a tasty mixture of eggs, whole wheat flour, milk, oil, and salt, and enriching it with courgettes and diced cheese , you’ll obtain a soft and fragrant courgette cake, best enjoyed in thin slices.
To ensure your light savory plum cake is ready, you can test it with a toothpick; it should come out clean if it’s perfectly cooked. Otherwise, you might want to leave it in the oven a little longer, turning on the broiler to ensure a golden crust on top.
