A few words about Trampo Cake: It is a traditional dish that has been enjoyed for generations, adapted according to the season and available ingredients. Whether you enjoy it warm or cold, Trampo Cake is an excellent choice, full of vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients:
- 100 ml oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- 100 ml beer (choose a light beer for a subtle taste)
- 300 g flour (type 000 or whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 onion (preferably red onion for a sweeter taste)
- 1 bell pepper (a sweet pepper to add a splash of color)
- 1 gogoșar (can be replaced with zucchini for a lighter version)
- 2 tomatoes (Romanian tomatoes are ideal for their intense flavor)
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil for drizzling

Step by step for a perfect Trampo Cake:

1. Preparing the vegetables: Start by peeling the onion and slicing it into thin rings. Then, slice the bell pepper and gogoșar, and the tomatoes into thin slices. Add a pinch of salt and pepper over the vegetables, mix gently, and set them aside to release their juices. This step will enhance the flavors of the vegetables.

2. Preparing the dough: In a bowl, combine the flour with the salt. Gradually add the beer and oil, mixing with a spatula or your hands until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Don’t hesitate to knead a little; this will make the dough fluffier. If you like, you can also add dried herbs (oregano or basil) to the dough for extra flavor.

3. Forming the base: Sprinkle a working surface with flour and roll out the dough with a rolling pin until you get a thin sheet, about 0.5 cm thick. Using the rolling pin, roll the dough and place it in a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure the dough evenly covers the bottom of the tray and that there are no air bubbles.

4. Assembling the Trampo Cake: Place the drained vegetables evenly over the dough, ensuring they are distributed uniformly. Drizzle with olive oil, which will help caramelize the vegetables during baking, adding a delicious flavor.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C with ventilation) and insert the cake. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the dough turns golden and crispy. Don’t forget to check from time to time, as each oven has its peculiarities.

6. Cooling and serving: Once baked, let the Trampo Cake cool slightly before cutting it. You can enjoy it warm, but also cold, as a snack or appetizer. I recommend serving it with a fresh arugula and tomato salad or alongside a garlic yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast.

Useful tips:
- Use cold beer to achieve a fluffier dough.
- Add olives or feta cheese to the vegetable mixture for extra flavor.
- You can experiment with other seasonal vegetables, such as zucchini or eggplant.
- It is an excellent fasting recipe but can be customized with various ingredients to suit personal preferences.

Nutritional benefits:
Trampo Cake is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, thanks to the fresh vegetables used. The whole wheat flour used in the recipe is a good source of complex carbohydrates, providing long-lasting energy.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use other types of beer?
Yes, you can use brown beer or non-alcoholic beer, but the taste will be different.

2. Is it possible to freeze Trampo Cake?
Yes, you can freeze it before baking. Make sure to cover it well to prevent burning.

3. How can I adapt the recipe for gluten intolerance?
Use gluten-free flour, such as almond flour or rice flour, and adjust the amount of beer to achieve the desired consistency.

Ideal pairings:
Trampo Cake pairs excellently with a glass of white wine or a fresh lemonade. You can also serve it as an appetizer before more complex main dishes, such as a baked meat dish or a flavorful curry.
