Microwave Peanut and Coffee Cake

Microwave peanut cake is a perfect example of how technique and practicality can go hand in hand in contemporary baking. In many cake recipes, the key to success lies in incorporating air correctly: it is this air that defines a light, fluffy and stable cake crumb. Traditionally, this function was performed by beating eggs or egg whites, but today we have technical solutions that allow us to achieve consistency, speed and control.

In this recipe, we use Albuwhip Free Range, a powdered albumin that replaces egg white and guarantees effective and consistent aeration. Thanks to its whipping capacity, we achieve a light structure even in a format as quick as the microwave. This not only simplifies the process, but also eliminates common variables such as egg quality or beating time, which is especially valuable in professional services.

The use of a siphon and microwave cooking make this cake quick and easy to prepare, ideal for fast production, restaurant service or even à la carte orders. In just a few seconds, you have a warm, aromatic cake with a surprisingly light texture. The combination of peanut and coffee adds depth and character, proving that quick recipes are not incompatible with intense flavour.

These types of ‘express’ cakes meet a real need in modern bakeries: easy, reproducible and efficient recipes, without compromising on the final quality. Microwave peanut cake is a versatile tool, perfect for accompanying desserts, ice cream or creamy dishes, and a clear example of how well-used technical ingredients open up new creative possibilities with simple processes.
