Bake a cake in 60 seconds

Spray it, heat it and voilà! You've just made a cupcake without having to wreck your brain for a recipe or kill your arms.

That's exactly what the latest food invention does.

Harvard students John McCallum and Brooke Nowakowski invented Spray Cake as a final project for the module Science & Cooking with the theme “ways to eat more cake.”

"Honestly we were kind of surprised it hadn't been done before," said Brooke.

The duo are in the process of patenting their invention, which allows for you to bake a full cake in the microwave in 60 seconds and a cupcake in half that time.

They say it's "essentially cake batter in a whip-cream style can."

It doesn't get any lazier than this.
