What is spinach cake?

Published · Updated
Spinach cake is a sponge cake made with spinach, which turns the layers a bright green. It is a dessert, not a savory bake: ours pairs the green sponge with a light cream-cheese frosting and strawberry confit.
Why is it green?
The color comes from the spinach in the sponge — no green frosting needed. Cut a slice and the inside is green all the way through — a cake that surprises the table. Green spinach sponge cakes are a familiar home bake in Turkey and across the former Soviet Union.
What does spinach cake taste like?
Baked into a sweet sponge, spinach has a mild flavor, so what comes through is the cake itself. Ours is described on the menu as: “Moist emerald-green sponge layers with a light cream-cheese frosting and a bright strawberry confit — a cheerful, surprising cake.” The tangy cream cheese and the fruit keep it light rather than rich.
Our Spinach Cake
It comes from the Happy Cake menu in Kazakhstan, where our family cake brand began in 2013, and we bake it in Sugar Land.
