Selam everybody.....Merhaba from Turkey.

Are you parent who frustrated dealing with your kids who hated their vegetables? Welcome on my board ... ! My kid, made me so proud  when she was easily eat her carrot or enjoyed her greens, tomato and more, but that was when she's around 30 months old! 

I remember her 1st solid food at 7 month old was spinach rice porridge with chicken liver. And during that complementary feeding, she ate many kind of food without rejected anything. I know, if she didn't like something, she gave me sign with her "wanna vomit" expression. I mean, she was not really picky on food, until she turns 2 yo.

Well...now I'm dealing with picky, easy to boring and difficult to eat the greens and fruits. She only like eats carrot but it is also not much... She loves chicken only. Sometimes eats sausage much, sometimes hate it. Sometimes like to eat fish, sometimes throw it away..... 😩

What to do?? I just try to understand her and keep trying changing as many menu as I can. and try to put any vegetables in every meal I made as much as I can. I made banana cake, carrot cake, fried crispy fish, spinach pastry, leek pastry..anything! Some recipe I already shared here, you can browse around if you would.

And now I'd like to insert spinach in a cake. She like eating cake--even not really much as I wish. But at least I try to put green as many as I can in anything I made... After made this cake, not only her who like it so much...even her baba! ... well double happy of me 😍

And here my Spinach cake recipe. Try it and tell me what you think...

3) In a heat-resistant bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 25 g caster sugar over a pan of boiling water (double boil) until the sugar has dissolved and frothy. No need to  pale stage. You could use a low speed mixer or use manual whisk like I did. Remove from the heat and whisk for another 1 or 2 minutes, mix  in spinach puree and whisk to blended.

5) Pour into the prepared baking pan. Slam baking pan/ bundt on the counter few times to remove air bubbles that may trapped in batter.

Allow cake to cool before cut.
