Ingredients

• 200 g unsalted halloumi – shredded
• 100 g olives – pitted
• 1 tbsp dried mint
• 3 medium-sized eggs
• 3 cups cake flour
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ cup sunflower oil
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh mint – finely chopped
• ½ cup orange juice

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 165°C. Line a cake tin with greaseproof paper or coat with sunflower oil and sift some flour to prevent sticking.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Sift in the flour and baking powder, then add dried mint and salt.
• In another bowl, mix together the halloumi, olives, and chopped fresh mint. Coat the mixture with 1 tablespoon of flour.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until frothy.
• Add sunflower oil, olive oil, orange juice, and yoghurt to the egg mixture, continuing to mix. Set aside the electric mixer.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients, folding them into the mixture with a spatula.
• Lastly, add the halloumi mixture and fold it in gently. Transfer the mixture into a cake tin of your choice.
• Top with sesame and nigella seeds, and bake for 45-50 minutes. Check with a toothpick from the center to ensure it's cooked through.
• Serve with a warm cup of tea and enjoy!
