lavenderthymecake3

Nearly two months since my last writing here! I do apologize for this. But the happy note is that I got the results of my first exam which I have passed with distinction.
Please stay tuned as in the coming week I will insert a new page with the services I will now provide as a holistic health and nutrition guide to share my knowledge and help people to regain their optimal health.

I am not writing much here, but I am still cooking a lot. I came up this recipe as I participated to an event and helped with the ” catering”. The event being in summer with hundreds of ladies attending, it had to be easy, with the possibility to prepare in advance and it had to keep well.

I propose therefore here the recipe of a savoury cake. I have work with a raised dough which was a first for me. Working with kamut and rice flour, the volume will not double, but the dough will rise. 

lavenderthymecake2You will need:

  • 2 1/4 cups of flour ( a mix of kamut and rice flour at equal proportions)
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 table spoons unsalted butter
  • 2 table spoons sugar
  • 1 table spoon dried lavender (grinned)
  • 2,5 tea spoons dried yeast
  • 2 tea spoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tea spoon baking soda

 

Pre-heat the oven at 170 C (fan oven).
Combine sugar, lavender, yeast, thyme baking soda and 1/4 cup of the flour.

Put the butter and the water in a saucepan, warm it and add it to the previous mix. Beat it until smooth.
Add the yogurt, eggs and 1/2 cup of the remaining flour. Beat it on high speed until smooth and elastic. Add the remaining of the flour and beat again.
Let rise about an hour in a warm place. Bake it for about 20 min at 170 C.

It is ideal to serve for cocktail, enjoy!
