Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4.
  2. Break the cauliflower into medium florets and put them in a pan with a teaspoon of salt, cover with water and boil for 15 minutes until quite soft.
  3. Drain the cauliflower and allow it to sit in a colander until all the excess water goes.
  4. Meanwhile, cut a few rings off the onion, about 5mm wide, and set aside to go on top of the cake. Coarsely chop the rest.
  5. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently saute the chopped onion and rosemary for 8 minutes.
  6. Remove frying pan from the heat and allow to cool.
  7. Whisk the eggs, add the basil and whisk the mixture into the cooled oil and onion/rosemary mixture.
  8. Sift the flour, baking powder and turmeric into a large bowl, then add your cheese, 1 1/2 tsp of salt and lots of black pepper.
  9. Add the egg mix to the dry ingredients and whisk to get rid of any lumps.
  10. Add the cauliflower gently, you want to leave some florets whole and break down some. Stir gently but mix thoroughly.
  11. Line 2 20 cm round loose based cake tins with baking parchment. If you have doubts as to whether the paper and/or tins are non stick brush the sides with butter, or do it anyway if you are adding the sesame seeds.
  12. Toss the sesame etc seeds around the sides of the tin (if using) so they stick to the sides.
  13. Tip the cauliflower mix half in each tin and arrange the onion rings on the top.
  14. Bake in the centre of the oven for 45 minutes until golden brown and set so a fork stuck in comes out clean.
  15. Allow to cool until just warm or at room temperature (if you can bear to wait that long).
