Squash cake with tomatoes and garlic

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a squash cake with tomatoes and garlic? Prepare the products. Which zucchini will work best? Choose young fruits with a delicate skin of a small size. The tomato may go away more, it will depend on the method of slicing.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the zucchini, dry it, cut off the tips. Peel it off. It is not necessary to cut off a very thin skin. If you use more mature zucchini, cut off the rough peel and cut out the middle with the seeds. Grate the zucchini on a coarse grater. Squeeze the resulting mass with your hands, drain the juice. I got dry fruits, there was practically no juice.

3. Step 3:

   

   Beat the eggs into the zucchini. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Add salt and pepper. Stir until smooth.

4. Step 4:

   

   Start pouring flour in portions, stirring after each. Be prepared for the fact that the flour may go more or less than stated in the recipe, it will depend on the juiciness of the zucchini, the size of the eggs and the properties of the flour itself. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   It should become quite thick, like on ordinary pancakes. I lost a glass of flour with a volume of 200ml.

6. Step 6:

   

   Preheat a frying pan over medium heat, I have a pancake pan, with a non-stick coating, with a diameter of 20cm. Drop a little vegetable oil on it, smear it. Spread the dough with a spoon, smearing it on the bottom with a thin layer, forming a pancake.

8. Step 7:

   

   Fry the pancake over medium heat until browned on one side, then turn over to the other and fry until tender. Remove the finished pancake and grease the pan again. Lay out the next portion of the dough. Fry pancakes from the whole dough in this way. I got exactly 5 pieces. Cool them completely.

9. Step 8:

   

   Peel and chop the garlic — on a grater, through a press or just with a knife. Add it to the mayonnaise, mix.

10. Step 9:

    

    Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut into circles or cubes. When slicing into circles, I took more tomatoes when assembling the cake.

11. Step 10:

    

    Assemble the cake by smearing each "cake" with garlic mayonnaise and layering with tomatoes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Decorate the top of the cake with herbs and tomato slices. Serve to the table. Bon appetit!
