Spinach Cake Roll: A Step-by-Step Guide

Indulge in a vibrant and healthy Spinach Cake Roll, perfect for brunch or dessert! This moist, green-hued treat combines earthy spinach with sweet cream, offering both nutrition and elegance. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

- 150g fresh spinach, steamed and chopped

- 4 eggs (separated)

- 80g sugar

- 70g all-purpose flour

- 50ml milk

- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- A pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Prepare Spinach: Blanch spinach, blend until smooth, and drain excess liquid. Let cool.

2. Make Batter: Separate eggs. Beat egg whites with salt until frothy, then gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix egg yolks, milk, vanilla, and spinach purée. Gently fold in flour, then fold in egg whites in three batches.

3. Bake: Pour batter into a greased 28x28cm baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes until set.

4. Fill and Roll: Let the cake cool slightly. Spread whipped cream or cream cheese over the surface, then roll tightly from the short side. Wrap in parchment and chill for 1 hour before slicing.

Tips: For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the batter. Serve chilled for a refreshing twist! This recipe balances health and taste, making spinach a delightful surprise in every bite.
