Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper, ensuring that your cake will come out easily after baking.
Next, finely chop the broccoli and slice the green olives. It's important to chop these ingredients well to ensure they mix evenly throughout the cake.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients thoroughly to break up any clumps and ensure even distribution, which will help the cake rise uniformly.
Step 3
Next, create a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the vegetable broth, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture gently until everything is just combined. Avoid over-mixing, as this can affect the texture of your cake.
Step 4
Now, fold in the chopped broccoli and sliced olives carefully. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter to get a burst of flavor in each bite.
Step 5
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-baking.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. For added flair, sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh herbs before serving. This cake makes an excellent appetizer or snack!

Variations
Looking to make this broccoli cake suitable for everyone? Simply replace the regular flour with a gluten-free blend for a delicious gluten-free option! πΎβ¨ For a vegan twist, you can use unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed mix instead of eggs. These substitutes keep the cake moist while ensuring it's completely plant-based. ππ±
Faq
- Can I use frozen broccoli instead of fresh?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the cake.
- How do I know when the cake is done?
Insert a toothpick in the middle. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready!
- What can I add to enhance the flavor?
Consider adding herbs like oregano or thyme to elevate the taste profile of the cake. ππΏ
- Can I add cheese to the recipe?
Absolutely! Adding a sprinkle of cheese on top before baking can give it a delicious crust. π§β¨
- What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can also freeze slices for later enjoyment!
- Can I substitute the olives with something else?
Yes! Feel free to use sun-dried tomatoes or even diced bell peppers for a fun twist. π πΆοΈ
