How to Make Layered Vegetable Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch deep cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside half of this mixture.
  3. Using a mandoline slicer or food processor with a thin slicing disc, thinly slice all vegetables.
  4. Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with a portion of the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with half of the parsnips, turnip, sweet potato, and rutabaga, seasoning each layer with the crumb mixture.
  5. Sprinkle a little more than half of the remaining breadcrumb mixture over the vegetables.
  6. Repeat layers with remaining vegetables and remaining breadcrumb mixture, topping with the remaining crumbs.
  7. Whisk together eggs, vegetable stock, and cream. Season lightly.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered vegetables. Cover with aluminum foil, sealing tightly around the edges.
  9. Bake for 1 hour. Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  10. Preheat broiler to high. Carefully invert the cake onto a heatproof plate. Remove and discard the parchment paper.
  11. Broil for 4-5 minutes, or until the top is crisp and golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving. Enjoy!
