Tomato-Basil Olive Oil Cake




 
 
Ingredients:

Roasted Tomatoes
  • 6 Lipman Roma tomatoes, cut into thick slices
  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
Olive Oil Cake
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 5 large (fresh) basil leaves
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
 
Directions:
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • Toss tomato slices with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Arrange tomato slices on a sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until the tomatoes begin to caramelize and lightly brown.
Directions for Tomato-Basil Olive Oil Cake:
  • Meanwhile, combine flour, eggs, garlic, salt, and olive oil in a large bowl; mix well. When tomatoes have finished roasting, remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Allow roasted tomatoes to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Reserve 8 to 10 roasted tomato slices for the top of the cake. Add the remaining tomatoes (about 1 cup) and the basil to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add tomato/basil mixture to the cake batter and mix well. Pour batter evenly into a prepared round 9" x 1.5" baking dish and top with roasted tomato slices.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until top of cake begins to lightly brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cut into eight pieces before serving.
