Our French friends introduced us to the delicious ‘cake apéro’, a must with any aperitif. The mix is whipped up in a few short minutes, using whatever you have in the fridge, and makes for a lovely accompaniment to a civilised apéritif.

French apero cake laid on a plate

Ingredients

  • Cake Base
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups self-raising flour
  • ⅓ cup sunflower oil
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup grated cheese (eg. Gruyère)
  • Filling
  • 1/2 cup sliced green olives
  • 2-3 tbsp green olive or black olive tapenade (optional)
  • ½ cup cubed ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 5/6)
  2. Mix the eggs and the flour together in a bowl. Slowly add the oil + the milk (at room temperature).
  3. Add the grated cheese + dash of salt & pepper and mix.
  4. Add the 'filling' - this can vary depending on what you have in the fridge! A mix of green olives, black olives, cubed ham, lardons, sundried tomatoes, green pesto, black pesto - have fun experimenting! Mix the lot.
  5. Butter a non-stick cake tin - I usually choose a long rectangular tin and pour the mix into the tin.
  6. Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Leave to stand for 15 minutes before removing from tin.
  7. Cut into slices and serve with a crisp Chablis or a silky Médoc. Santé!
