Solar recipe: salted cake with cherry tomatoes, olives and goat’s cheese

Salted cake with cherry tomatoes, olives and goat’s cheese is a summer recipe to bake when the sun is beating down in a tin solar oven. Well-designed and with high outside temperatures, it can reach 130°C, which is perfect for cooking melt-in-the-mouth doughs like those in this savoury cake. In reality, it’s a cake batter, but since the container is a cake tin, I called it that. In this type of oven, baking in a cake tin would take too long, so it’s best to use large, flat containers to facilitate baking. Enjoy it warm or cold, with a green salad and a glass of chilled rosé, you’ll love it.
