APPLE KALE CAKE WITH APPLE ICING
Kale cake? Yes! You can't taste the kale in this delicious vegetable cake, but it gives this cake a bright green color and leaves some goodness behind. Hundreds of readers have made it and loved it.
I know, you're thinking kale? In cake? But trust me. It's awesome.
Kale has risen up the ranks to become the world's trendiest leafy green, but I've shunned the usual kale chips and smoothies, and made it naughty by baking it into a cake.
It's perfect for a dinosaur cake, monster cake or just a fun bright green cake recipe!
This kale cake has a delicate apple-flavoured sponge, topped with a zesty apple icing and, although there is quite a bit of kale, the flavour doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
