Spiced Cake with Tuna, Cheese and Peppers

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius, ensuring it is well heated before placing the dish inside. This is an essential step, as a constant temperature will help with even baking. In a large bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder, salt, nutmeg, paprika, and pepper. This mixture of dry ingredients will not only add flavor but also ensure a fluffy texture to the final dish.

In another bowl, beat the eggs with a mixer on medium speed until they become frothy and slightly lighter in color. This will introduce air into the mixture, contributing to an airy consistency. Once the eggs are ready, gradually add the flour and spice mixture while continuing to mix. It is important to add the dry ingredients slowly to avoid lumps.

After the flour is fully incorporated, add the grated cheese, crushed garlic, creamy yogurt, and canned fish, including its oil. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients. The fish will add a savory taste, while the yogurt will contribute to the moisture of the dish, making it more flavorful.

Finally, chop the bell pepper and add it to the mixture, stirring gently to avoid crushing it. The bell pepper will bring a fresh and crunchy note to the dish. Prepare two loaf pans, lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Divide the mixture evenly between the two pans.

Place the pans in the preheated oven and let them bake for 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. You will notice that the top becomes golden and slightly crispy, an indication that the dish is nearly ready. Once removed from the oven, let them cool slightly before removing them from the pans. This savory loaf can be served warm or at room temperature, perfect for a savory appetizer or a snack between meals. Enjoy it alongside a fresh salad or a side of vegetables for a complete and delicious meal.
