- 3 green onions

- 9 tablespoons flour
- 1 packet baking powder

Steps for Preparing the Savory Cake

1. Preparing the Ingredients:
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the kaiser, sausages, chicken ham, and pork ham into small cubes. These will add a special flavor to the cake.

2. Cooking the Ingredients:
In a skillet, add 50 g of butter and sauté the meat over medium heat until it becomes slightly crispy. It is essential not to burn the meat, so be vigilant during this step. Once the meat is browned, remove it from the skillet and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb the excess fat.

3. Onions and Mushrooms:
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté it in the remaining butter until it becomes translucent. Then, add the cleaned and chopped mushrooms and sauté them until they lose their moisture and become golden. This step will enhance the flavor of the cake.

4. Preparing the Vegetables:
Clean the peppers and cut them into cubes. Also, chop the olives and parsley finely. These will add a note of freshness and texture to the dish.

5. Beating the Eggs:
In a large bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then add the yolks one at a time, mixing well after each. Then, gradually add the sour cream and olive oil, continuing to mix to obtain a homogeneous composition.

6. Integrating the Flour and Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Incorporate this mixture into the egg composition, stirring gently to avoid lumps. Now add all the sautéed ingredients (meat, onion, mushrooms) and the chopped vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, but sparingly, considering that the ingredients already contain salt.

7. Preparing the Cake Pans:
Dust two cake pans with flour. This will prevent the cakes from sticking. Fill the pans with the obtained mixture and sprinkle the grated cheese on top for a delicious crust.

8. Baking:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (low heat) and place the cakes inside. Let them bake for about 50 minutes, or until they pass the toothpick test. When the toothpick comes out clean, the cakes are ready to be taken out.

9. Serving:
Let the cakes cool slightly before removing them from the pans. You can serve the cakes warm or at room temperature, sliced. They are excellent as an appetizer alongside a fresh salad or even as part of a more substantial meal.

Final Notes and Variations:
This savory cake can be customized according to your preferences. You can add green olives, hot peppers for a spicier taste, or even grilled vegetables. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as goat cheese or feta, to give it a distinct note.

Nutritional Information:
Each serving of cake provides approximately 300 calories, being a good source of protein due to the eggs and meat. Additionally, the mushrooms and vegetables contribute fiber and essential vitamins.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I use alternative ingredients? Yes, you can adapt the recipe with ingredients you like or that are available.
- How can I store the cakes? They store well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, covered with plastic wrap.
- What drinks pair well with this appetizer? White wine or a light beer are excellent combinations that will complement the flavors of the cake.

I hope this savory cake recipe will become your favorite, just as it has become ours! Enjoy!
