30 SECOND sponge cake

Few days back i came across a sponge cake that chef Albert Adria of el bulli made for the famous series 'NO RESERVATIONS' he used this sponge cake in his dessert preparations. The amazing thing about this sponge cake was that this cake is baked in 40 seconds!! yes u heard it right its baked for 40 seconds in an microwave oven. The resulting cake is sometimes bit moist (raw sometimes) but its really fluffy and light, there are a million varieties of cakes u can bake with this technique even savory cakes too.!!

It has always been a pleasure watching him cook and here is the video for you call to enjoy it too followed by the recipe..

Now that's some way of getting a cake FAST!
