I dont know what the turkish name for this recipe is, but its made with potatoes, and looks like a cake, so I named it Potato cake.

3 Turkish tsp salt
1 onion chopped
1 cup yogurt
1 cup milk
1 cup oil
1 tsp baking powder
black pepper, red pepper, as per taste
parsley
1 1/2 -2 cups flour (enough to get a cake-batter consistency)
Method:

Mix all the above ingredients and bake till its golden red in color, and the center is firm (use a toothpick for testing).

This is a yummy cake by Nurhaan. Its actually made with tea and its great with tea or just about anytime.

Ingredients:

1 cup tea (black)
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup oil
3 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla powder
3 apples chopped
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 cups flour

Start by mixing the eggs and sugar (you may use a electric hand mixer). Now add the remaining ingredients except apples. Sprinkle the apples with little flour (it will prevent them from sinking to the bottom). Finally add the apples.

Bake at 350 deg F until the base and top is golden, and test with a tooth pick in the center, it shouldnt be gooey.

Enjoy with hot tea, perfect for chilled winter evenings!
