**Ingredients:**
– 250g halloumi cheese, grated
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 3 large eggs
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
– 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Zest of 1 lemon
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated halloumi cheese, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly coated with flour.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and milk until well combined.
4. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Add in the chopped parsley, chives, dill, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Fold these ingredients into the batter until they are evenly distributed.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve the Halloumi Cake warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own, with a side salad, or as part of a brunch spread.
