Pistachio Mug Cake - foam sponge

An airy siphon (whipping-siphon) sponge cake with pistachio paste, cooked in the microwave — a foam-like 'dunapren' texture.

Ingredients

120 gegg white
80 gegg yolk
30 gflour
80 gpistachio paste
30 gsugar
3 gbaking powder

Instructions

  1. Mix everything in a bowl and blend, incorporating air with up-and-down movements.
  2. Pour into the siphon. Charge with either 2 cartridges and wait 5-10 minutes, or just 1 cartridge and wait 1 hour.
  3. With a knife, pierce the bottom of a plastic cup. Fill the cup with the mixture from the siphon to about 1/3.
  4. Put in the microwave on the second lowest possible wattage (about 450) for between 25 and 47 seconds. When you shake the cup it should wobble like jelly.
  5. Turn the cup over onto the counter and wait for it to drop out. Let it cool, tear apart and decorate.
