My grandfather usually has some really nice, organic lettuces on his little allotment. On top of this, I’ve always wanted to explore recipes that include a good amount of greens. So, one day I challenged my grandmother, and we baked a lettuce cake that turned out pretty tasty! You will find the ingredients you need and the instructions to prepare it down below.
Ingredients
- 300g of lettuce
- 3 eggs
- 200g of brown sugar
- 150ml of olive oil
- 1 tbsp of honey
- 5 crushed walnuts
- 250g of self-raising flour
- 100g of corn flour
- cinnamon

This looks great! I’ve added sweet potato and spinach to cakes and biscuit but never lettuce! Next time I do some healthy bakes I’ll give it a try. 😊

It’s a running joke between me and my bf that I have a huge hatred of lettuce and salad, but THIS is a lettuce recipe I can get behind! I am going to send it to him and might have to make it for his bday coming up 🙂

What an interesting challenge! How great that you came up with the challenge and grandma was all for it! I would never consider using lettuce in baking. Lettuce is so delicate, I just imagine that it would get stringy or something. I do like grilled lettuce for Caesar salad though. You’ve piqued my curiosity, that’s for sure.
