Edible Moss
A spongy microwave cake used as decoration - an imitation of edible moss or coral.
Ingredients
| 1 | egg |
| 12 г | sugar |
| 30 г | maple syrup |
| — | food coloring |
| 25 г | flour |
| 5 г | baking powder |
Instructions
- Beat 1 egg at very high speed with 12 g sugar and 30 g maple syrup.
- Add coloring as desired.
- Add 25 g flour sifted with 5 g baking powder and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into plastic cups up to half their height and "bake" in the microwave at 800°C (W) for 2 minutes. Depending on the power of your microwave, you may need to bake longer, but no more than 3 minutes.
- Remove the cups and turn them upside down so the mixture keeps its porous structure; leave to cool completely. Tear off pieces and use for decoration as desired. Can be used as an imitation of edible moss or coral.
Notes: In my own test I found I can increase the baking powder a little, for larger holes, and that the minutes must be observed exactly, because even a slight increase overbakes it and it becomes hard. The maple syrup can be replaced with honey.
