[Modernist Cuisine at Home] Instant Chocolate Sponge

From MCAH...

This was a fast and easy recipe to follow. I wasn't totally sure of the whipping siphon process but what I did was: add the first nitrogen bottle, then discharge the air with the bottle right side up. Then I added 2 additional nitrogen bottles. The end result was lovely and it almost perfectly matched the photos in the book. It tasted great - not too sweet - light & fluffy. It was awesome warm out of the microwave. The fiance wanted some frosting so I gave her some on the side.

It looks like quite a bit was left in the whipping siphon at the end but I imagine that's the nature of things with that particular implement.

Overall a great success!

I haven't made the chocolate one yet but did make the Peanut Butter one and that was easy and tasted very good. Our next one we will replace the peanut butter with Nutella and then on to the chocolate one.
