Method

Sponge biscuit

  • Mash the spinach and oil in a blender.
  • Whip the eggs with sugar until a thick white mass.
  • Add the spinach mass, and then the flour with starch.
  • Spread the mass on parchment (30*40cm | 11.80*15.75 inch), and bake it at 338F (170C) for about 20-25 minutes (until a dry skewer).
  • Take the finished biscuit out, and turn it over on a towel.
  • Remove the parchment, and twist the roll together with a towel.
  • Let it cool.

Cherry filling

  • Mix the Cointreau with starch.
  • Add the cherries, and boil it over a medium heat until thick and glossy mass.
  • Cool the filling.

Cream

Whip all the ingredients together.

Assembly

  • Unfold the biscuit roll, spread the cream and then the cherry filling.
  • Roll it back.
  • Place the finished roll in the fridge for 6-8 hours to soak.
