Spinach Cake with Whipped Cream – notes
My daughter has been nagging me lately to bake moss cake with spinach. She really liked this cake, and I hadn’t made it in a long time. I didn’t feel like making a whole cake, so I decided to make a simple spinach cake. I focused on simplicity and speed of preparation here. That’s why I took out frozen spinach earlier and defrosted it in a sieve, then squeezed out the excess water. To make my work as easy as possible, I put spinach, yogurt, eggs, oil, and a little lemon juice into a blender and blended everything into a smooth mass. Then it was enough to add the wet ingredients to the flour with baking powder and sugar and mix with a spoon. This way, I prepared a quick spinach cake in about 10 minutes! Thanks to the spinach and yogurt, the cake is nicely moist and doesn’t feel as greasy as the moss cake.
In what pan to bake spinach cake?
I baked the spinach cake in a large baking pan; it came out flatter and baked faster. I chose a 20/30 cm pan here, but you can also bake this cake from the same portion in a 24/24 cm pan, or in a round pan with a diameter of 26 cm. I baked the cake for about 30 minutes – until a dry skewer came out clean, of course. After baking, I cooled the cake and only then started decorating.
I spread the cake with whipped cream and sprinkled it with crumbs from the blended cake. We really enjoyed the spinach cake, and my daughter practically devoured it. Now that baking spinach cake is so simple, she’ll be able to make it herself whenever she feels like it. Because this cake is child’s play!
Be sure to try it, check out my recipe – I’ve added some preparation photos to it – and make this spinach cake for a weekend coffee. You can arrange fresh fruit on top before serving, but it’s not necessary.
Also check out my recipe for spinach and nut bundt cake or the delicacy cake recipe on a spinach base with a light yogurt and strawberry cream. Both cakes are delicious, and additionally, the delicacy cake is low-calorie – ideal for people on a reduction diet. In fact, this spinach cake also has relatively few calories per 100g – even despite the whipped cream used.
I hope I’ve encouraged you to bake :)

Spinach Cake Recipe
This recipe for a quick and simple spinach cake with whipped cream is a fantastic idea for a weekend treat. This spinach cake turns out wonderfully moist, so it stays fresh for a long time. Best of all, it tastes amazing—you cannot taste the spinach in the cake at all. After baking, you can decorate it just like I did, with simple whipped cream. The whipped cream is just cold heavy cream whipped with powdered sugar. Alternatively, you can prepare a cream cheese frosting—simply blend a light cream cheese (like Bieluch) with powdered sugar and spread it over the cake.
Before applying the cream, I suggest cutting off the raised top dome of the cake and crumbling it into fine crumbs. You can then sprinkle these crumbs over the cream. This gives it the look of a "Forest Moss Cake." I have already shared a recipe for a Forest Moss layered cake here on the blog before. A Forest Moss cake like that is a wonderful idea for a birthday cake and more.
Spinach Cake Recipe
This time, I have prepared a straightforward spinach cake that you can whip up in just a dozen or so minutes—provided you have fresh spinach. If you only have frozen spinach, defrost it in a strainer beforehand and gently squeeze out the excess water. The spinach batter itself is very simple, and if you have a jug blender, you can make it in no time. Just blend all the wet ingredients together with the spinach. You have to admit, this significantly cuts down the preparation time and is incredibly easy. Anyone can make this spinach cake, even someone with little baking experience.
