Transcript

This is the most expensive cake in the world called castella, and almost no one can afford to buy it even if you were the richest person in the world. Like Elon Musk, you would never be able to buy a cake like this. Only a handful of privileged people ever get the chance to taste this extraordinary dessert. This cake is incredibly soft and literally melts in your mouth. But why can't even Elon Musk afford it? Because this cake is so rare that it is made only 69 times a year. Its recipe is kept under the strictest secrecy. However, despite all these precautions, some people have managed to uncover it. To begin, 500 eggs are cracked into a huge mixing bowl. Then dozens of people separate the egg whites from the yolks. The egg whites are poured into a large mixer and salt, sugar, and baking powder are added. This creates a light and airy foam. Meanwhile, the egg yolks are mixed with milk, butter and flour until the mixture becomes perfectly smooth. Finally, the two mixtures are gently combined and baked for twenty minutes. The result is the most expensive cake in the worse, sold for several million dollars. Leave a like and subscribe if you would love to taste it too.
