Italian Savoury Tuna Rose Cake with Thermomix

Do you want to make a Italian Savoury Tuna Rose Cake with Thermomix? It is certainly an original variant of the savoury rose cake that will allow you to easily prepare a very good and impressive rustic cake.

Do you know what a rose cake is? is it also prepared in your country? it is a leavened bread dough that is rolled on itself and thus gives the visual effect of a rose. You can stuff it in many ways, according to your tastes. This is the recipe for stuffing it with TUNA.

In this recipe, the strong flavor of tuna meets the delicacy of brioche dough in an embrace of softness and taste.

Tuna never fails in my pantry. It's one of those "evening-saving" ingredients that you take out at the last moment to prepare a mixed salad or pasta, when you come home tired from work or when you haven't done the shopping and your husband tells you he invited "Some friends" to watch the game.

So why not surprise everyone by offering something original and, why not, artistic: a beautiful rose cake.

Tips

Remember that leavening times vary according to environmental conditions: put your bowl in the oven off or in the microwave with a pan of boiling water next to it, so you will create a kind of hot-humid leavening chamber and the dough will rise better.

You can leave out the cherry tomatoes or replace them with another variety of tomatoes.
