Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 3 large Eggs
- 125 milliliters Whole milk
- 100 milliliters Olive oil
- 150 grams Cooked ham, diced
- 100 grams Gruyère cheese, grated
- 100 grams Pitted green olives, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the olive oil and milk until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced ham, grated Gruyère cheese, and sliced green olives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve at room temperature as an appetizer, snack, or alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
