Notes
u003cliu003eIf you are switching out the ingredients for the filling, keep the total volume of the filling to around 2 cups. If you are using watery vegetables such as tomato and zucchini, make sure to cook off the moisture to avoid the batter being too wet. u003c/liu003eu003cliu003eIf you are omitting salty meat (i.e. bacon), I suggest to increase the amount of salt to ½ teaspoon, or make sure to season the vegetables enough while cooking. The filling itself should be a little saltier than your usual preference so the overall cake flavor will be strong enough.u003c/liu003e
