Step by Step Method
Step 1
The Cakes: Mix in a large bowl, the flour, baking powder and the salt; separate the spinach as much as possible and add to the flour mix with the shredded cheese, mix well and make a well in the center, set aside.

Smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce: Heat butter in saucepan; mix together flour, cayenne and dry mustard; add to butter, stirring constantly until thickened, about 1 minutes.
