INGREDIENTS

• • 3 large eggs
• • 55g whole milk
• • 40g avocado oil/any neutral oil
• • 50g cake flour
• • 7g Culinary Grade Matcha Powder
• • 45g granulated sugar
• • ¼ tsp lemon juice
• • 120g heavy whipping cream
• • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar for the whipped cream (add more if you like sweeter cream)

DIRECTIONS

• 1. Preheat the oven to 340°F. To make this chiffon cake, you will need a 7 inch chiffon cake pan (with the tube in the middle). Keep in mind that it’s not the bundt cake pan where it’s non-stick. You will want to use a pan with aluminum type material.
• 2. With 2 bowls, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
• 3. In a pot filled with water, bring it to a simmer to create a bain-marie. In a bowl, add in milk and oil, place it over the pot of water and whisk until well combined. Remove from heat and sift in cake flour and Matcha powder. Mix until well combined. Add in egg yolks one at a time and mix well.
• 4. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whisk egg whites and lemon juice. Be sure to start the whisking at a slow speed to stabilize the egg whites, and gradually speed up.
• 5. While whisking, when egg whites start to form bubbles, slowly add in the sugar in 3 intervals.
• 6. Whisk the egg whites until medium peak. You should see the tip of the egg whites curl slightly when you hold up the whisk.
• 7. Mix in ⅓ of step 3. into the yolk mixture until well combined.
• 8. Fold in the remaining ⅔ egg whites into the mixture in 2 turns until well incorporated.
• 9. Pour the batter into the chiffon cake pan. Tap the pan on a flat surface 3 times to release some air bubbles. Bake for about 30-32 mins.
• 10. Once done, remove from the oven and immediately tap it on a flat surface to remove the big hot air bubbles. Quickly invert it upside down and let it cool completely (about 1-2 hours). Don’t worry if the top of the cake cracks or shrinks slightly since it will be placed at the bottom when served.
• 11. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, add in the cream and sugar, whip until stiff peak is form.
• 12. Once the cake has completely cooled, remove the cake from the pan with the bottom of the cake facing on top.
• 13. Slice the cake into 6 pieces. For each slice, invert the cake 90 degree so that the initial sides of the cake is now facing the bottom. Using a knife, slit through the cake from the top until ¾ through.
• 14. Pipe in some homemade whipped cream and top with fresh berries/fruits. Enjoy it with a cup of tea!
