Spinach Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pulse spinach in three batches in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add ricotta (or cottage cheese), Parmesan, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper; stir to combine.
• Coat 8 cups of the muffin pan with cooking spray. Divide the spinach mixture among the 8 cups (they will be very full).
• Bake the spinach cakes until set, about 20 minutes. Let stand in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a clean cutting board or large plate. Serve warm, sprinkled with more Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Place the spinach, applesauce, sugar, oil, vanilla extract and egg in a food processor and puree. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Pour the spinach puree in a large mixing bowl. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
• Scoop the batter into the greased mini muffin pan, filling each cup two-thirds of the way. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool completely, then serve or freeze.
• To freeze for later, place cooled muffins on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid, about 1 hour. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Brush a 41 x 24 baking pan with oil, dust with flour. Set aside.

• Whisk together the egg and sugar for 2-3 minutes.
• Add olive oil, lemon juice and pureed spinach, mix well for 1 minute.
• Sift flour, vanilla and baking powder into the mixture.
• Mix well, for a few minutes.
• Pour the mixture into the baking pan. Cook for 30 minutes. (It is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.).
• When cooled, cut off the cake's all sides 1/2 inch thick and powder the crumbs with a blender.
• Remove to a serving platter.
