Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit, 160 fan oven).
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs, and use a hand mixer to beat them well until they triple their volume and have a pale yellow colour.
Sift in the flour, add the baking powder and oil and beat again.
Add the rest of the ingredients and use a spatula to fold everything in.
Flour and oil a large loaf tin, transfer the mixture to it, and bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
To remove the loaf from the tin, run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan, it should come out easily.
Leave the loaf to cool down completely before slicing.

Notes

This savoury cake couldn't be easier to make - it uses ingredients that you already have around, and it's so easy to tweak based on whatever else you have around. Apart from the loaf shape, you can also turn them into mini savoury muffins like my Cheese and Bacon Muffins or Cheesy Carrot and Courgette Muffins.
Make sure you use a non-stick tin that is well oiled and floured so that the loaf can be easily removed once it's baked, otherwise removing it from the tin could be quite a task.
