The savory loaf cake is the easiest way to bake an appetizer that looks impressive. This page gathers ideas that you mix in the Thermomix bowl, pour into a loaf tin and bake. The result is a tender slice, perfect for aperitifs, picnics and lunch boxes.
Why a savory loaf cake works so well
The batter is simple: eggs, flour, a little oil or butter, milk and a filling. The Thermomix mixes everything in a few seconds, so you wash only one bowl. Then you add cubes of cheese, vegetables or fish by hand, using reverse speed 3 so the pieces stay whole.
Goat cheese with herbs, feta with olives, or tuna with tomato: these are the classic pairings. But you can also try zucchini with mint, or roasted peppers with cream cheese. Each version bakes in a standard loaf tin and slices cleanly once it has cooled.
Tips for a good savory loaf cake
First, dry your vegetables well, because extra water makes the crumb heavy. Next, flour the filling lightly so it does not sink to the bottom. Also, check the cake with a knife blade: it must come out clean.
A savory loaf cake keeps for three days in the fridge, wrapped in foil. You can freeze slices as well, and warm them in the oven for a few minutes. That makes this category useful when you plan meals ahead.
For a party buffet, bake two cakes with different fillings and cut them into thick slices. Guests enjoy choosing, and nothing goes to waste because leftovers reheat well.
