Savoury cakes are very popular in France, they appear in boulangeries and with a side salad on lunch menus in chic cafés, but they’re most likely to appear at a picnic.

Ingredients 

250g plain flour
1 tbsp baking powder
150g soft goat’s cheese, cut into small pieces
80g pistachios, roughly chopped
100g  dry apricot, roughly chopped
4  eggs
150ml olive oil
100ml  milk
50g  plain yoghurt
1 tsp salt
pinch freshly-ground black pepper

Preparation method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4 and line a loaf tin measuring 8½ x 4¼  with baking paper. 
2. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cheese, pistachios and apricots. 
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy and pale in colour. Then gradually whisk in the oil, milk and yoghurt. Season with the salt and freshly-ground black pepper. 
4. Fold the flour mixture into the whisked eggs. Try not to overbeat as this will make the end result tough (it’s better to undermix). 
5. Pour the batter into the prepared tin. 
6. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a metal skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. 
7. Leave to cool in the tin.

Pink Peppercorn

Pink peppercorns are not true peppercorns but actually the dried berries from the Baies rose plant. They're cultivated in Madagascar and imported via France, hence their exorbitant price. These rose-hued berries are pungent and slightly sweet. It is a super mild chilli pepper. They have a very thin skin, little heat, and a pine-like quality, sweet fruitiness, and a bit of floral at the same time.
