Harvard Students Invent Microwavable Spray Cake

Watch out there whipped cream; sprayable food has made a trendy comeback. If you’re looking for instant gratification when it comes to dessert, Spray Cake may just be the answer you’re looking for. It’s a little strange, oddly delicious, and very much convenient. Spray Cake is invented by a pair of Harvard students, John McCallum and Brooke Nowakowski. It all started from McCallum’s final projects for one of his classes that turned into something pretty darn cool. Spray Cake consists of premade batter in an aerosol can - like whipped cream. You simply press down on the release knob, and before you know it, a fluffy mixture sprays out—allowing you to create different shaped designs like a cupcake or smiley face. Nuke the stuff in your microwave for 60 seconds, and you’ve got yourself a cake. Spray Cake contains all of the ingredients like a normal cake batter would, except there is no baking soda or baking powder; the CO2 bubbles in a pressurized can cause the same reactions for a yummy, spongy cake. It’s a super convenient way to have your fix of cake without having to whip a whole one up. Plus, there’s virtually no mess and no prep you have to do. The duo team plans to keep the ingredients organic and are looking into the next steps to manufacture their product.
