12g                  Matcha Powder
40ml                Vegetable Oil
70ml                Milk
80g                  Cake Flour (sifted)
1tsp                 Vanilla extract

Meringue:
4                      Egg Whites (from large eggs)
50g                  Caster Sugar
3/8 tsp             Cream of Tartar
Pinch of salt

Decoration
50g                  White Chocolate
100ml              Whipping Cream
15g                  Confectionery sugar
1tsp                 Corn starch
(*double the amount if creaming the entire cake)
Rose Tea buds     ~20 pcs (for decoration)
Match Powder      a little (for dusting)
Raspberry Powder  a little (for dusting) – optional

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 160 degree Celsius.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar (10g) until pale and fluffy
  • Add milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract and mix till well combined.
  • Sift in the dry ingredients (matcha powder & flour) and then fold till there are no more lumps. The mixture should form ribbons that disappear back into the batter.
  • Meringue: In another bowl, beat egg whites with salt and cream of tartar till bubbly or soft peaks. Add in sugar (50g) in 3 batches then continue to beat on high speed till firm peaks.
  • Gently fold 1/3 of the meringue into the wet mixture and mix till well combined. Then fold in the rest of the meringue gently till no more whites are seen.
  • Pour the cake batter into a tube tin.
  • Remove any trapped large air bubbles by lightly giving the tin a couple of bangs on the table. Or gently run a chopstick through the top of the batter keeping in mind not to knock over the hearts.
  • Bake for 30 mins and then lower temperature to 150C and bake till brown or when the sides start to pull away from the tin.
  • Invert the tin and let cool.

Decoration:

  • Melt white chocolate over a hot water bath. Keep the melted white chocolate warm in the bath.
  • Whip whipping cream and sugar till slightly set. Add in corn starch and continue to whip.
  • Gradually add in the warm melted white chocolate and whip till set
  • Spread a bit of the whipped cream onto the surface of the cake and pipe large rosettes around then top off with rose tea buds and dust some matcha & raspberry powder over. Decorate as you like.
