Dessert in 5 minutes: Quick sponge cake with whipped cream and sour cherry jam When it comes to quick desserts, nothing compares to a slightly moist sponge cake served with delicious whipped cream and sour cherry jam. This simple and quick recipe will win you over with its ease, as well as its unforgettable taste. Usually, desserts require a lot of time and patience, but not this recipe. In just 5 minutes, you'll have a dessert worthy of the most beautiful occasions. The history of sponge cake dates back to the 18th century when it was popularized as a light and fluffy dish, perfect for serving in various combinations. Over time, countless variations of this recipe have developed, and today I will present you with a quick and delicious way to prepare it. Preparation time: 5 minutes Baking time: 3.5 minutes Total time: 8.5 minutes Number of servings: 2 Ingredients: - 4 tablespoons of flour - 4 tablespoons of sugar - 2 tablespoons of cocoa - 1 teaspoon of baking powder - 1 teaspoon of instant coffee (or espresso) - 1 egg - 3 tablespoons of milk - 3 tablespoons of oil - 1 vanilla essence (or 1 vanilla pod, if you prefer) - 100 ml whipped cream - 100 g sour cherry jam By following the steps below, you will succeed in obtaining a quick dessert, but full of flavors! Step 1: Preparing the dry ingredients In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and instant coffee well. This mixture will form the base of your sponge cake. Make sure there are no lumps left, to achieve a uniform and fluffy dessert. Step 2: Combining the wet ingredients In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk, oil, and vanilla essence. Combine these ingredients well to obtain a homogeneous mixture. The secret to a successful sponge cake is not to be afraid to mix! Step 3: Combining the ingredients Add the wet ingredient mixture over the dry ingredient mixture. Mix everything with a spatula or whisk until you achieve a smooth composition. Be careful not to overmix, as this could develop the gluten in the flour, leading to a denser sponge cake. Step 4: Dividing the composition Divide the mixture into two tea cups, filling them only up to 2/3, to allow the sponge cake to rise. This step is crucial, as overfilling the cups may cause the mixture to overflow in the microwave. Step 5: Cooking in the microwave Place the cups in the microwave set to 750 W and let them bake for 3.5 minutes. You will see how the sponge cake rises and acquires a fluffy texture. Step 6: Inverting the sponge cake After the time has expired, carefully remove the cups from the microwave. Use a knife blade to detach the edges of the sponge cake from the sides of the cups. Then, gently invert the sponge cake onto a plate. Step 7: Assembling the dessert Cut the sponge cake into suitable slices. On each plate, place a slice of sponge cake, cover with a spoonful of whipped cream, and a teaspoon of sour cherry jam. Add another slice of sponge cake, followed by whipped cream and jam. Continue until you have used all the ingredients. Step 8: Serving Here you go! Your quick dessert is ready to be served. You can decorate it with some fresh fruits or a sprinkle of cocoa on top for a more sophisticated look. Useful tips: - If you want to personalize the recipe, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the sponge cake mixture. - Instead of sour cherry jam, you can use any other type of jam you prefer, such as strawberry or raspberry. - Make sure the whipped cream is well-beaten to achieve an airy and creamy texture. Nutritional benefits: This dessert is a quick option and, although it contains sugar and flour, it can be a better choice than other processed desserts. A serving contains approximately 250 calories, so enjoy it in moderation! Frequently asked questions: 1. Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, whole wheat flour can be used, but you may get a different texture. 2. What can I use instead of instant coffee? You can omit the coffee or replace it with extra cocoa. 3. Can I freeze the sponge cake? It is recommended to enjoy it fresh, but you can freeze it for later use. This quick dessert is perfect for moments when you crave something sweet but don't want to spend too much time in the kitchen. So, gather your ingredients and enjoy a delicious experience in just 5 minutes!
