Ingredients

Not sure which green ingredient gives the best color? Fresh spinach blended smoothly works best for a soft natural green shade without strong taste.

For 2 people, simply halve all ingredients. For more than 4, double the quantities while keeping the same ratios.

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Worried about lumpy batter ruining your cake? Start by blending the spinach with milk until completely smooth, then preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a baking pan lightly so the cake releases easily after baking.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Not sure how to get a smooth base mixture? In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until slightly fluffy, then add oil and vanilla. Pour in the spinach mixture and stir gently until the color looks even and soft.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Concerned about overmixing the batter? Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, then fold into the wet mixture slowly. Mix just until no dry streaks remain. If making for 2 people, mixing time stays the same but the batter will be smaller.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Wondering when the cake is perfectly done? Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes until the top feels springy and a toothpick comes out clean. For larger batches, baking may take slightly longer, so check the center carefully.

Serving Suggestions

With Light Frosting
Thinking of making it more dessert-like? Spread a thin layer of cream cheese or whipped cream frosting on top. For smaller servings, frost only what you need, while larger cakes can be fully covered and sliced for gatherings.

Tea-Time Slice
Looking for something simple with tea? Serve plain slices with warm tea or coffee. For 2 people, cut smaller pieces, and for more guests, slice evenly so everyone gets a soft and fresh portion.

Layered Dessert Style
Want a fancier look without effort? Slice the cake horizontally and add a light filling between layers. Smaller cakes may not layer well, but larger ones work beautifully for this style.

With Fresh Fruit
Need a fresh touch? Serve with sliced strawberries or mango on the side. For small servings, keep portions light, while for bigger groups, arrange fruit on a platter for easy sharing.
