Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C Fan. Line a 20m loose bottomed circular cake tin with parchment paper.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic into a small baking dish. Add the halved shallots & beetroot and toss in the oil. Add salt and pepper to season, followed by the thyme sprigs. Roast for 45 minutes until soft and jammy. Toss halfway.
  3. Add the oatcakes and melted butter into a food processor then blend for 40 seconds until thick, sandy crumbs have formed. Place this mix into the prepared cake dish and use the back of a spoon to flatten. Pop into the fridge while you make the filling.
  4. Add all of the ingredients together into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour over the biscuit base and bake for 30-35 minutes until a rich golden brown and there is no wiggle in the middle of the cake. Pop this into the fridge for 1 hour before serving with the sticky roasted vegetables and a sprinkling of thyme.
