week Thity-siX: Flan Cake

It's a cake and it's a flan! A different way of baking - this cake takes two batters. They have different densities and compositions. They react differently. When heated one turns into a cake and the others turns into a soft flan. That's when chemistry comes to the kitchen!
And isn't life all about chemistry?

week Thrity-fivE: Portuguese Sponge Cake

Sponge Cake is the easiest recipe ever, the one everyone knows by heart. However, the Portuguese version is particularly rich, using a large amount of eggs and very little flour and sugar. As a result, this cake is spongy and has a soft and creamy sauce in the center. Portuguese Sponge Cake is more like a dessert than a cake.
The Portuguese Sponge Cake we baked this weekend is the result of a great team work! Three pairs of hands got together in an effort of baking the softest Sponge Cake ever.
Thank you girls for your invaluable help.
