Cake Salé (Savory Cake) with Kabocha Squash and Broccoli

I was invited to my friend's house for lunch, so I made this cake salé which is easy to carry. I used the ingredients I had on hand. It was my first time adding kabocha squash, but it made the cake fluffy and sweet. It was very delicious, so I uploaded the recipe.

Please cover the kabocha squash loosely with plastic wrap and microwave at 500 W until a bamboo skewer goes through easily.
When you are using thick bacon slices, cook them first in a frying pan, and add to the batter.
You can change the ingredients and enjoy different kinds of cake salés. Recipe by yaburie

Cooking Instructions

    Preparation: Lightly grease the pound cake pan with butter (excluded from the recipe), and dust with cake flour (excluded from the recipe). Alternatively line the pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Cut the kabocha squash into 1.5-2 cm cubes, and mince the onion. Place them together into a heatproof dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Boil the broccoli until it's still firm, and cut into smaller bite-sized pieces. When you are adding the stem, peel the thick skin, and cut into 1 cm cubes.

  4. 4

    Cut 1 slice of bacon into 1 cm squares to mix into the batter. Cut the other slice into thin strips for a topping.

  5. 5

    Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the milk, olive oil, salt and pepper, and mix well with a whisk.

  6. 6

    Mix the ◆ ingredients and sift over the Step 5 bowl, then mix. When just a bit of the flouriness remains, add the vegetables and bacon, and mix with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Pour the mixture into the pan, and smooth out the surface. Sprinkle with the thin strips of bacon and Parmesan cheese on top. Lightly drop it onto the counter from a low height to remove the air bubbles.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes at 180℃. When the surface is browned and a bamboo skewer comes out clean after it's inserted, your cake is done!

  9. 9

    Leave it on a rack to cool, and remove the cake from the pan. Cut into slices, and enjoy It's full of vegetables.
