I am posting a savory cake today, just to shake things up a bit :) The base for these cakes is one of my favorites. It makes a fluffy, light, airy cake that is not sweet at all, which lends itself perfectly to a garlic and basil filled, aromatic dollop of store bought pesto. Trust me, these cakes are amazingly fragrant and full-flavored. They compliment any meal.
Pesto Cakes
2 C flour
1/4 C sugar
4 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1 C water
1/4 C oil
1 egg
12 T store bought pesto
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together water, oil and egg. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fill 12 muffin cups 1/2 full and dollop 1 T pesto on top of each muffin. Bake at 400 degrees for 14 minutes.
