Mystery cake at a weekend piss up with friends turned out to be pesto cake. Well liked and quite surprised when found out what the flavour was.
Quite like vegetable cakes where they are the flavour, not just to bulk or keep moist.
Experimented a bit with meat cakes, ham and feta came out quite good.

Carrots are vegetables.
So is ginger...Hate to break it to you but so is sugar beet
Ooooh get you buying the posh sugar...
I once got given a savoury tuna sandwich cake for a birthday here in Estonia a few years back. I was a little disappointed at the time as i am a big fan of a traditional jam sponge cake.
Lady at work once brought in a vegan un-cooked (must have been set somehow?) nut and seed cake thing. I wasn't brave enough to try it based on it's looks and smell, and the one person that was spat it out...
Would have been a bit less awkward if it wasn't her birthday, and she hadn't spent most of the evening before making it.
I made this for an office bake off once

But being a wheat freak and given my connections I used gluten free flour and the Red Bull cola instead of normal cola, was very well received.
