Creating a Forest Moss Cake (Leśny Mech) involves incorporating spinach into the cake batter to give it a green color reminiscent of moss, along with decorating it using forest berries, pomegranate or other fruits. My version is made with matcha powder instead of spinach. You can also use my Spinach Cake Recipe to create a more authentic version of this dessert.
Ingredients:
Cake:
- 60g oil
- 90g sugar
- 3 eggs (approximately 150g)
- 100g flour
- 20g cornstarch
- 20g matcha powder
- 8g baking powder
Cream:
- 200ml milk
- 50g sugar
- 30g cornstarch
- 250g cream cheese
Instructions:
1. Preparing Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 6-inch cake tin with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light in colour and fluffy.
- Sift in the dry ingredients and add oil in.
- Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before assembling.
2. Preparing Cream:
- In a saucepan, mix all the ingredients except cream cheese.
- Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens.
- Remove the pudding from heat, cover with plastic wrap, and let it cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the pudding to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined and smooth.
3. Assembly:
- Once the cake has cooled, carefully slice it horizontally into three layers.
- Crumble top one of the cake layers.
- Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate.
- Spread a layer of cream over the cake layer.
- Repeat the process with the remaining cake layers and cream cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle the crumbled cake over the top layer of cream.
- Garnish with pomegranate seeds or other fruits of your choice. Enjoy your matcha cream cake!
