Magic Green Cake: The Secret to the Natural Color That Will Enchant Everyone!

Ingredients

:For the cake: 3 eggs

1 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

1 cup of fresh, washed spinach (yes, it's the secret to the green color! Or use kale for a softer shade)

1 cup of milk (can be plant-based for a vegan version)

2 cups of all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon of baking powder

Pinch of salt

For the frosting:

200g of melted white chocolate

1/2 cup of heavy cream

Mint leaves or lemon zest for decoration

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 22cm (9-inch) round cake pan with butter and flour.

Beat the magic green batter:

: In a blender, combine the eggs, sugar, oil, spinach (or kale), and milk. Blend until smooth and homogeneous (about 2 minutes). Don't be alarmed by the color – it's pure nature!

Mix the dry ingredients:

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Pour the green cream from the blender over the mixture and gently stir with a spatula until everything is incorporated. Don't overmix, or you'll lose the fluffiness!

Bake with love:

Pour into the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, it's ready! Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before unmolding.

Creamy topping:

Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring). Mix in the warm heavy cream.

Tips:

Want a more intense green? Add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to the batter.

Fitness version:

Replace half the flour with oats and use sweetener.

Serve with tea or coffee – it's an explosion of flavors!
