Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake
How do you make Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake?
Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake is made by folding chopped spinach and crumbled cheese into a batter of cornmeal, eggs, and a moistening ingredient such as yogurt or milk, then baking until set. Squeeze excess water from the spinach first so the center cooks through.
Why is my Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake soggy in the middle?
Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake is often soggy because the spinach releases too much water or the center has not baked long enough. Cook or thaw the spinach and drain it well before mixing; test the center with a skewer before taking the cake out.
What cheese works best in Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake?
Feta works especially well in Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake because its salty, crumbly texture complements the spinach. Use less added salt if your feta is quite salty. A melting cheese such as cheddar gives the cake a softer, more cohesive texture.
Can you use frozen spinach in Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake?
Yes, frozen spinach works in Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake. Thaw it completely, squeeze out as much liquid as possible, and chop it before adding it to the batter. Excess moisture can leave the cake dense or underbaked in the middle.
Which cornmeal should you use for Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake?
Fine or medium-ground cornmeal gives Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake a more even, tender crumb. Coarse cornmeal adds a grainier bite. Letting the mixed batter stand briefly can help the cornmeal absorb moisture before baking.
How do you keep Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake from crumbling?
To keep Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake from crumbling, make sure the batter has enough egg and moisture to bind the cornmeal, and allow the cake to rest before slicing. Cutting it while hot can make even a fully baked cake fall apart.
What can you serve with Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake?
Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake pairs well with a crisp green salad, sliced tomatoes, or plain yogurt. Serve it warm as a savory brunch or light lunch, or cut it into small pieces as a potluck side.
How long does Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake keep in the fridge?
Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Let it cool before storing, and refrigerate it promptly because the spinach and cheese make it a moist, perishable dish.
Can Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake be frozen?
Yes, Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake can be frozen in individual slices. Wrap the slices well, or separate them with baking paper in an airtight container, so you can thaw only what you need. Defrost it in the refrigerator.
How can you make Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake lighter?
You can make Spinach, Cheese and Cornmeal Cake lighter by using less oil and cheese and adding plain yogurt for moisture. Keep the spinach well drained so you do not need extra cornmeal to compensate for a watery batter.
