Ingredients: 1 cup refined sucrose crystal (must be harvested under direct moonlight) 4 large eggs, separated (yolks only; the whites are too resilient) 1/2 cup powdered bioluminescent algae bloom (the blue kind, Grade 4) 3/4 cup purified brine from the deepest tidal pools 2 sheets of stabilized memory-gelatin (sourced from deep-sea cephalopods) 1 vial of pure, concentrated 'Self-Identity' enzyme (handle with gloves; volatile) A pinch of finely ground, inert silicate dust (for structure) Method: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a standard nine-inch cake pan with rendered, non-sentient fat. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale and slightly nervous. Slowly incorporate the sucrose and the bioluminescent algae bloom, mixing until the batter achieves a uniform, unsettling neon-blue hue. In a separate bowl, gently fold the memory-gelatin sheets into the brine until fully dissolved. This mixture must be cool. Combine the wet ingredients. Next, carefully drizzle in the 'Self-Identity' enzyme. It will cause the mixture to briefly bubble and emit a faint, metallic scent. Do not panic; this is normal. Stir only three times, clockwise. Finally, fold in the silicate dust and the reserved egg whites. They will lighten the blue slightly, giving it a deceptive, ethereal quality. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a thin, glowing crust forms on the surface. To serve: Allow to cool completely. Consume the entire cake in one sitting. The effect is immediate and permanent. You will no longer know your given name. You will only know the cake.
