Even I, who’s got quite a sweet tooth, started to feel like that I was taking too much sugar.
I wanted to keep baking but reduce sugar intake, so I chose Cake salé as my next baking project.
Cake salé means savory cake in French.
Ingredients are just like a cake: flour, egg, fat, but without sugar.
Fillings I used were olives, dried tomatoes, caramelized onion, corned beef and cheese.
I also needed to add white wine so asked JC to get some.
He brought Giacomelli Azienda Agricola Giardino dei Vescovi Colli di Luni Vermentino 2017
White wine from Liguria, Italy, with the beautiful golden color and the aromas of orange blossoms and a hint of hazelnut.
He chose this because the savory quality and the rich texture of the wine would be good with the cake.

Without sugar the cake didn’t rise like sweet cakes but the taste was good.
The texture of the cake gives faint perception of sweetness which makes saltiness of fillings round.
As a rule of thumb, wine used in cooking was good to pair with the food.
