How to make watermelon cake with spinach step by step
Step 1 - prepare the jelly
Start by preparing the fruit jelly, as it will need time to set.
1 package red jelly, 500 ml boiling water
Pour the jelly into a bowl or measuring cup, add boiling water and mix thoroughly - set aside to cool, then put in the fridge to set faster.
Step 2 - prepare the spinach cake
Transfer spinach, wet ingredients, and sugar to a blender and blend thoroughly.
75 g spinach, 2 eggs, 60 ml oil, 1.5 tablespoons lemon juice, 75 g sugar
Mix the flour with baking powder.
120 g wheat flour - all-purpose, 1 teaspoon baking powder
Add the blended wet ingredients to the flour and mix thoroughly with a spoon.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan - I lined mine with baking paper.
Bake the spinach cake in an oven preheated to 170 degrees Celsius (fan-assisted) for about 20 minutes - until a skewer comes out clean.
Cool the cake after baking.
Step 3 - prepare the mascarpone cream
Take the mascarpone cheese out of the fridge about an hour earlier to let it warm up slightly.
250 g mascarpone cheese
Melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie - pour a little water into the bottom of a small pot and bring it to a boil. Place a heatproof bowl (e.g., metal) on top of the pot and add the broken chocolate to it. Heat the chocolate until it melts.
100 g white chocolate
Remove the bowl with chocolate from the pot and set aside for about 10 minutes to cool.
Add the cooled chocolate to the mascarpone cheese and blend them together on high speed until combined into a cream.
Spread the cream over the cooled spinach cake and put it in the fridge.
Step 4 - finish the watermelon cake
Wash and dry the blueberries.
approx 100 g blueberries
Arrange them on top of the mascarpone cream - there doesn't have to be many, as they are meant to resemble watermelon seeds.
Pour the slightly setting jelly over the blueberries and put the cake in the fridge for a few hours until the jelly is completely set.
