Ingredients Serving: 4

250 grams Plain Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
150 grams Cheese, cut into small pieces (refer notes)
80 grams Cashewnuts; roughly chopped
100 grams Red and Yellow Bell Peppers; finely chopped (refer notes)
3 to 4 Red Onions; finely sliced
4 Eggs
150 ml Olive oil
100 ml milk
50 grams Plain Yoghurt
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly-groundmilled Black Pepper (as per spice tolerance)
Coriander leaves; finely chopped

Instructions

Caramelise the sliced onions and keep aside. (please refer to the my Pizza recipe for more details on caramelising onions)
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/ and line a loaf tin measuring 22x11cm/8½x4¼inch across the top and 6cm/2½inch deep with baking paper
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, cheese, cashewnuts, bell peppers and caramelized onions
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy and pale in color. Then gradually whisk in the oil, milk and yoghurt. Season with the salt and black pepper
Fold the flour mixture into the whisked eggs. Try not to over beat the mixture as this will make the end result tough. (it is better to under mix)
Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Sprinkle on top with fresh coriander leaves
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a metal skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. (when I say clean knife, please ignore if melted cheese comes on it, that does not mean it is not cooked.
If uncooked batter appears on the knife, it needs further cooking.
Leave to cool in the tin
