The history of this savory cake is filled with creativity, being a dish that allows every cook to leave their personal mark. Whether you prepare it for a family meal or a gathering with friends, this cake will surely become a favorite.

Your basic ingredients:

- 150 g of flour
- 200 g of ham (or salami, if you prefer)
- 150 g of pitted green olives
- 75 g of grated cheese
- 4 eggs
- 100 ml of milk
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of pesto (or chopped basil leaves)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Now that you have gathered all the ingredients, let’s get started!

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. While the oven is heating, you can begin preparing the ingredients. Slice the olives into rounds and the ham into small pieces. If you choose to use salami, make sure it is cut into similar-sized pieces for even distribution in the cake.

Step 2: Mixing the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. This will help the cake rise beautifully and have an airy texture.

Step 3: The wet mixture
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with a whisk or fork until frothy. Add the milk, olive oil, and your favorite seasonings. I recommend using pesto for an intense flavor, but you can also opt for freshly chopped basil. Don’t forget to add salt and pepper to taste!

Step 4: Mixing everything
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well, making sure there are no lumps. Add the olives, ham (or salami), and grated cheese, gently mixing to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5: Baking
Grease a loaf pan with a little olive oil and pour the mixture into it. Make sure it is well leveled. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden and passes the toothpick test (when the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done).

Step 6: Cooling and serving
Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a serving platter. You can serve it warm or cold, sliced. It is delicious alongside a green salad or even with a yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast.

Useful tips:
- You can add sautéed or chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers or onions) for a touch of freshness.
- If you like to experiment, replace the ham with feta cheese or boiled chicken breast for a healthier version.
- This cake keeps well in the fridge and can be eaten the next day, making it ideal for quick lunches.

Nutritional benefits:
This savory cake is a good source of protein due to the eggs and ham, while the olives add healthy fats and antioxidants. It is an excellent choice for a hearty breakfast or a nourishing snack.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use another type of flour?
Of course! You can experiment with whole wheat or gluten-free flour, but you will need to adjust the liquid quantities.
2. What other ingredients can I add?
You can try adding nuts, seeds, or even some cheese cubes for a different flavor.
3. How can I keep it for longer?
You can store it in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can also freeze it, sliced, and defrost it when you crave it.

In conclusion, this Savory Cake Victor is not only a simple and quick recipe but also a way to create unforgettable moments in the kitchen. Whether you cook it alone or with loved ones, the joy of savoring a delicious slice is guaranteed. Now is the perfect time to get creative and enjoy this wonderful recipe!
