The salted cakes are a dish that is used a lot in Italy, there are all kinds of varieties and they carry the most varied ingredients. The cake that I propose today is a vegan and gluten-free cake, based on zucchini, millet, and buckwheat, perfect for eating alone accompanied by a good salad or open in half and stuffed like a sandwich. It is also an original way of eating vegetables, which children will also like.

The salted cakes are a very old dish, the old Romans used to prepare them with very bitter vegetables to eat alone or with the less noble cuts of meat. In the middle ages, they reappeared at banquets and became increasingly elaborate and sophisticated until they became true sculptures made of dough. Clearly, they were very different from those we can see today, the dough served to contain the filling and was not normally eaten; The existing salted pies did not appear until the invention of the molds.

I do not know if it ever happens to you, but on Friday afternoon tastes sweet to me. If it is a rainy day like today in Barcelona, or if it is a sunny and hot day, on Friday afternoon I usually need a treat. But I do not want to give up eating healthy, so I have to manage to prepare something that is appetizing and tasty but at the same time very clean. This is how the gluten-free lemon mug cake that I propose today was born, it is easy to prepare and delicious. It’s a very handy sweet because if you are at home, you can eat it directly in the cup, but if you leave, you can put it in a bag and take it as a snack wherever you want.

I’m sure this mug cake will brighten the evening 😉
