What is ladera? The Greek olive oil dishes that make vegetables the star

Hi Carla! I'm so glad you made the Savoury Cake and enjoyed it, even with just the cheeses. For sun-dried tomatoes, go with the oil-packed kind (you'll find them in jars). Drain them well, give them a rough chop, and fold them into the batter with the rest of the ingredients. Around ½ a cup (about 80g) is a good amount. They add a lovely sweetness that pairs really well with the feta. Enjoy your next batch! ❤️

Savoury Cake
@Emily for this savoury cake, I split the batter between two tins, each measuring 22×11 cm. If you’re using a single larger tin, bake a little longer and check doneness with a skewer. Aim for a moist crumb with a slight crust.
