Sponge cake for 3 eggs in a slow cooker (or sponge cake not according to the rules)

So, I will not prepare a sponge cake in a slow cooker using three eggs, granulated sugar and wheat flour (half a cup of each product). I specially took a half portion of the classic white sponge cake with 6 eggs.

I start by (as usual) separating the eggs into whites and yolks. I pour the whites and about a teaspoon of yolk into a damp (intentionally) bowl (again for experimental purposes).

I beat the whites with a mixer into a foam, but not particularly stable. That is, when you turn the bowl over, they crawl. If you turn the bowl over, all the foam will be on the table. According to the rules, you must beat the whites into a very dense foam.

Now I beat the yolks with sugar. In principle, the result should be a homogeneous whitened thick mass, and grains of sugar should not be felt. I beat it so that some sugar still remains at the bottom.

I add unsifted (not according to the rules) flour to the yolks with sugar.

I mix the flour with the yolks. Then I add the protein foam, which has already begun to settle due to insufficient whipping.

I mix the whites into the dough with a spatula — it turns out like in the photo. The dough is a little runny for a sponge cake, but it flows like a ribbon (as it should). Ideally, proper biscuit dough should slowly flow (even fall) from the spatula in a wide ribbon.

I grease the multicooker bowl with a little oil and pour the dough into it. I decided to bake the biscuit in a multicooker for 40 minutes on the Baking mode — as it turned out, this was quite enough.

Here is our test subject. It seems to look good, but it immediately began to move away from the walls and shrank a little on the sides (in the sense of shrinking).

I take out our would-be sponge cake using the steam insert. Very good indeed.

I let the biscuit cool a little and cut it quickly. As you can see, everything turned out just fine — I think the experiment was a success! Only 3 eggs and half a glass of sugar and flour, and the height of the sponge cake is 4 centimeters. Worthy!

Beautiful, fragrant, white, airy… and yet it’s impossible to spoil biscuits in a slow cooker, no matter how hard you try!
