Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 250g/9oz plain flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 150g/5½oz soft goat’s cheese, cut into small pieces
- 80g/2¾oz pistachios
- 100g/3½oz prunes
- 4 free-range eggs
- 150ml/5fl oz olive oil
- 100ml/3½fl oz milk
- 50g/1¾oz plain yoghurt
- 1 tsp salt
- pinch freshly-ground black pepper
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a loaf tin measuring 22x11cm/8½x4¼in across the top and 6cm/2½in deep with baking paper.
-
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, goat’s cheese, pistachios and prunes.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy and pale in colour. Then gradually whisk in the oil, milk and yoghurt. Season with the salt and freshly-ground black pepper.
-
Fold the flour mixture into the whisked eggs. Try not to overbeat as this will make the end result tough (it’s better to undermix).
-
Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
-
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a metal skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
-
Leave to cool in the tin.
