Questions about Popcorn cake
What is a popcorn cake?
It is a compact, crisp cake made from popped corn kernels pressed together, rather than a slice of baked cake. It is ready to eat straight from the packet.
What can you put on a popcorn cake?
Try a thin spread of hummus, soft cheese or nut butter; the crisp surface makes a handy base for quick toppings. Add sliced fruit or vegetables just before eating so the cake does not soften.
How do you stop popcorn cakes going stale?
Seal the packet tightly after opening, or move the cakes to an airtight container and keep them somewhere cool and dry. Moisture quickly takes the crunch out of them.
Can you use popcorn cakes instead of bread?
Yes, for an open snack: top one with mashed avocado and a boiled egg, or with cottage cheese and tomato. They are fragile, so avoid piling on wet or heavy fillings or trying to make a sandwich with them.
Are popcorn cakes more filling than popcorn?
Loose popcorn has much more fibre: 14.5 g per 100 g, compared with 2.9 g in popcorn cakes. Popcorn cakes are easier to portion, but a cake is light and crisp rather than a bowl of fluffy kernels.
Do popcorn cakes need to be cooked?
No; they are already popped and pressed, so you can eat them as they are or add toppings. Heating them is unnecessary and can make them dry or brittle.
