Bake Chocolate Cake for Space | Nikki Lilly, Great British Bake Off and Rolls-Royce | STARRSHIP

Описание: Food is very challenging in Space. How would you bake a cake for astronauts to eat in Space? Nikki Lilly (Junior Bake Off winner 2016) and Andrew Smyth (Rolls-Royce engineer and Great British Bake Off Finalist 2016) show us how.

The only real way to bake in Space, due to limitations with ovens and microgravity, would be to bake, dehydrate and then rehydrate a no-fat cake.

Here is the recipe we used:

Ingredients:
1 2/3 c all-purpose flour (measured correctly)
1 c unsweetened cocoa powder
1½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 egg whites
1 c sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1½ c plain nonfat yogurt
½ c unsweetened applesauce

Instructions:
To prepare the cake, preheat the oven to 350°.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the yogurt and applesauce.

Whisk the yogurt mixture into the egg mixture. Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture, and pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring just until incorporated.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans, and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Cool in the pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and peeling the wax paper off of the bottom. Cool completely to room temperature.
