You can have your cake and eat it... for lunch! When Lancewood mentioned that you can also bake savoury cakes for their annual Cake-Off I knew I had to give it a go!
This Tomato & Basil Savoury Cheesecake is the perfect treat for lunch or dinner. I like eating a slice with a few crackers or even with a salad.
A savoury cheesecake is always something a little different to serve for lunch and it is truly incredibly easy to make. People will be massively impressed with your mad skills, I promise!
And why not make a delicious cheesecake for dessert too? Try out our GLUTEN-FREE KETO LEMON CHEESECAKE (NO BAKE) - it's delicious and creamy!
You can get creative with this recipe as well. If you want to stand a chance to WIN a trip to NEW YORK, why not give this recipe your own twist. Try removing the basil, and adding your own mix of herbs and topping with your favourite fresh veggies! Your options are truly endless so get creative and give it a go! Who wouldn't want to go to New York just for baking something delicious right?

To enter simply head over to the Lancewood Cakeoff website and follow those instructions. Pretty much what you need to do is; bake an epic cake, take a photo, upload your photo and recipe to their site and back your bags for your trip! ;) Sounds easy, right?

Would you please let me know how much the “tubs” weigh as we don’t have that brand here in Melbourne. Sounds delicious. Many thanks. 😊
