Roasted Vegetable Cake

How flippin' gorgeous is this cake??? Part fritatta, part cake, part cutie patootie. I think the cooking skills to make this would be in the easy to intermediate range - I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility for most home cooks. Regardless, this is what I'd classify as a "weekend" recipe - something not to be rushed. Or, pre roast the veggies on Sunday, and have them ready to whip together for a Monday night CE feast.




Roast Vegetable Cake with Ricotta Cheese

  • 8 organic eggs
  • 250 grams ( 9 ounces )organic  ricotta cheese
  • 125 grams ( 5 ounces ) organic cream cheese
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to taste
  • 50 ml ( about 2 ounces ) olive oil for drizzling over the vegetables
  • 30 gram ( 1 oz ) organic butter  to saute the spinach
  • 2 large waxy potatoes,  peeled and sliced
  • 1 sweet potato,  peeled and sliced,
  • 3 roasted peppers (capsicums), roasted, skin removed
  • 9 ounces pumpkin or butternut squash,  peeled and cubed
  • 150 grams ( 6-8 ounces ) baby spinach leaves
  1. Place the eggs, ricotta, cream cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a food processor and mix until smooth.
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice the potatoes and sweet potato, peel and cube the pumpkin and lay these on a baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with some olive oil, season with salt and pepper and bake for 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft enough that you can pierce through them with a fork.
  3. If you are roasting the peppers yourself, char each pepper over an open flame using a pair of tongs. When the peppers have blackened, place them in a large bowl and cover with clingwrap for a few minutes. Carefully peel the skin off the peppers. Otherwise, you can use store bought peppers as well.
  4. Heat a pan with some butter and lightly saute the spinach. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large round cake pan (mine measured 9" wide by 2" high), layer the potato slices, the sweet potato, red peppers, cubed pumpkin, and then pour over the egg mixture. Finally, add the sauteed spinach. Allow the mixture to settle for around ten minutes.


  1. Bake the frittata for around 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when you insert this through the center of the cake.
  2. Remove from the oven, allow to cool before slicing.

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Walking Through The Fancy Animal Carnival In NYC

I went to visit my kids in NYC last week and on my walk from the train to their place I passed through the famous Garment District- It was raining, but I managed to get a few photos of some of the new sculptures in the " Fancy Animal Carnival " by Taiwanese artist Hung Yi. I don't usually share my outings, but with so many visiting NYC over the holidays, I thought these might be of interest. Garment District Free Art Show through April 2016 The Carnival , which starts around 41st street and ends on 37th street, features eleven large to life whimsical statues each symbolic of bringing luck!  The statues are extremely colorful and big!!
