This month's cake from Dorie's Anytime Cakes by Dorie Greenspan is a bit different -- it's a savory cake.
It's almost like a 'kitchen sink' cake, since it contains three types of cheese (fontina, mozzarella Parmesan), pancetta, ham, or bacon, chives or scallions, roasted peppers, and honey. Aside from a lot of chopping, the batter is easy to put together, and it bakes in a loaf pan.
While it's an interesting cake, flavor-wise, it didn't thrill me. I put most of the slices in the freezer to revisit at a later date. Maybe toasting them will help; maybe the flavors will be better melded.
There were mixed reviews from the bakers as well, so be sure to check them out at the Tuesdays with Dorie website.
