Directions
Combine all the ingredients together (apart from the flaxseed) and leave for 10 minutes on the side. This enables the marrow to release some of it's juices and turn the mix into more of a batter.
 
Then add the flaxseed. stir in gently and then pour into a lightly greased or lined shallow cake tray.
 
Bake in a preheated moderate oven (180c fan) for about 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. A knife should come out clean. Leave to cool, then slice and serve, or freeze.

Yumsy! If you like spicy/curry flavours then this is for you. Looks like a round, flat fritata and tastes great. Even if you are not keen on marrow, you should enjoy this 'cake'.
