Are you lacking inspiration or motivation to cook spinach, that tricky vegetable? Why not try this spinach cake recipe!

It’s a very simple dish to prepare: wash the spinach, chop it up, mix it into the batter, and then pop it in the oven! And when it comes out, it’s a real treat for the taste buds—take it from a foodie…

The spinach is encased in a crispy, rich batter that highlights its flavor without overpowering its delicate taste. This spinach cake is also perfect for vegetarians and suitable for gluten-free diets, as it uses rice flour.

300 g of spinach
150 g of rice flour
150 g of cottage cheese or yogurt
100 g of butter
60 g of crème fraîche or mascarpone
2 eggs means
nutmeg
salt, pepper

1
Wash the spinach thoroughly, rinsing it several times if necessary.
2
Cut off the tough stems.
3
Chop the spinach fairly finely (in the photos, I chopped it too coarsely). This will give your cake a smooth, even texture and make it look much better.
4
Place the flour in a mixing bowl, make a well in the center, and add the eggs, the softened butter cut into pieces, the cottage cheese, and the crème fraîche. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
5
Knead these ingredients together with your hands, just as you would for pie dough, until you have a smooth, even dough.
6
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Add the spinach mixture and mix everything together well.
7
Pour this mixture into a buttered baking dish.
8
Place in the oven and bake at 200°C for 30 minutes. You’ll soon start to smell the irresistible aroma of rice pudding—that’s a good sign!

Notes

Serve with gluten-free bread, such as rice-corn bread. I’ve categorized this recipe as a main course, but it can also be served as an appetizer—in which case, I recommend serving it in individual ramekins for an even more impressive presentation!
