For two Harvard University undergrads, what began as "an excuse to eat a lot of cake" may turn into the invention of a lifetime. John McCallum, a 20-year-old from Louisiana, was daydreaming about cake his freshman year during his Science of Cooking class when he happened to see someone spraying whipped cream and thought to himself, why not spray cake? Is that possible? He and his girlfriend and fellow student Brooke Nowakowski went on to prove that it is, winning first place and $10,000 in the 2014 Harvard Innovation challenge, reports ABC News. Their "Spray Cake" involves spraying cake batter from a can, then cooking it for one minute in a microwave. You can also cook it in a traditional oven, and they say it will cook faster than typical batter because the spraying helps release air bubbles inside, prompting it to rise in the absence of baking soda or baking powder.

Excellent!! :)
MacArthur Park. I still don’t know if I like that song. I do like your post though! :)
Spray cake. Coming soon to Fraternity and Sorority hazings.
AFAIC: Harvard is welcome to all it can steal from them.
Good idea! In time, when a same sex couple comes to a bakery and demands a wedding cake, the owner need only hand them cans of spray cake, show them the 3-D printer, and charge them 1,000 dollars.
Not baked lovingly from scratch? I don’t know what I would do if I found out that Twinkies and HO HO’s weren’t baked lovingly from scratch.
Mmmmmmmm - BACON CAKE!
No spoon? I’m gonna look pretty silly trying to lick the nozzle.
Some things quietly pass into history, without a decent burial. Alas, the cake mix spoon. Gone too soon.
You could always get a quality box mix (if you like chocolate I recommend Ghiradelli mixes). They are easy and come out just fine. But if too intimidating then go to the bakery or (sigh) buy a can of spray cake. I may have to track it down just to see what it actually tastes like
