Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or a small round pan.)
Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine all the wet ingredients: the softened lard, milk, kefir, and the egg. Whisk until well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour with the baking powder.
Form the Batter
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth, thick batter or a very soft dough. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Assemble the Cake
Pour and spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish. Arrange the bacon pieces and crumbled blue cheese over the top of the batter. Sprinkle the pressed garlic evenly over everything.
Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve
Let it cool slightly before slicing. It is delicious served warm on its own or as an accompaniment to a hearty soup.
