How to make watermelon Yalda cake

Step 1: Preparation of eggs and sugar

First, put 3 eggs and 1 glass of sugar in a large bowl and start mixing with an electric mixer. We have to stir for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. This step helps our cake to be soft and fluffy. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved in the eggs.

Step 2: Preparation of spinach puree

At this stage, we pour 1 full head of fresh spinach with half a glass of liquid oil into the food processor and crush it completely. The goal is to get a smooth and green mixture without any pieces of spinach inside. After it is ready, we add this spinach puree to the egg and sugar mixture and stir a little until they are completely mixed.

Step 3: Add flour and baking powder

Now we slowly add 2 glasses of flour and 1 bag of baking powder to the egg and spinach mixture. It is better to add the flour in several stages and stir with a whisk or a wooden spoon in a circular motion so that the puff cake is preserved. We must make sure that the ingredients are completely uniform and without lumps.

Step 4: Pour the ingredients into the mold and bake the cake

We grease the cake mold that we have for the oven well and sprinkle it with a little flour so that the cake can be easily removed from the mold. Then we pour the cake ingredients into the mold and smooth its surface. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and put the mold in the oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, we check the baking of the cake with a toothpick.

Step 5: Preparation of pastry cream

While the cake is cooling, we take out the pastry cream from the refrigerator. We pour the cream in a bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until it becomes completely stiff and shaped. We continue to stir the cream until the trace of the stirrer remains on the cream. Then we pour the cream on the cooled cake and smooth it with a spatula.

Step 6: Preparation of strawberry sauce

For the sauce, pour 80 grams of strawberries, 50 ml of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of starch into the pot and put it on a low heat. Mix the ingredients until the strawberries are soft and the sauce is thick. Then, with an electric meat grinder or mixer, we crush the sauce completely and let it cool. After cooling, spread this sauce on the cake cream.

Step 7: Decorate the cake with chocolate chips

Now that we have poured the sauce on the cake, we spread the chocolate chips on the sauce so that it looks like watermelon seeds. This step completes the watermelon look of the cake. Our watermelon Yalda cake is ready! You can serve the cake for Yalda night and enjoy its taste and beautiful appearance. Drink!
