    Butter and flour a standard 20 cm rectangular cake or loaf pan or line with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 195 C. Chop olives roughly, and set aside. Chop the ham into rectangular cubes and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, adding a pinch of salt (more if your ham is not smoked or salty) and a few dashes of pepper. Add the eggs one at a time. Stir in the olive oil and the wine, and then stir in the ham, olives, and cheese. It will be very liquid in its consistency. Pour into the pan and bake about an hour until a knife comes clean when inserted into the middle, and the top and edges are golden.
