Kasutera is a Japanese sponge cake made from a few ingredients. It's a recipe to make a matcha flavored, kasutera-style cake.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup bread flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha (green tea powder)
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
Steps to Make It
-
Cover the inside surface of a large loaf pan or two small loaf pans with parchment paper.
-
Mix honey in warm milk and set aside.
-
Sift flour and green tea powder together a few times and set aside.
-
Whisk eggs in a large bowl using an electric hand-mixer, adding sugar gradually.
-
Place the bowl over warm water in another large bowl.
-
Further, whisk the eggs until they become light yellow (almost white).
-
Preheat the oven to 360 F.
-
Mix the milk and honey mixture in the batter.
-
Add sifted flour in the bowl and mix gently with a spatula.
-
Pour the batter in the loaf pan and tap the pan gently on the table to release any air bubbles.
-
Bake at 360 F for about 10 minutes and turn down oven to 280 to 300 F and bake for about 40 minutes, or until done. To check if the cake is done, poke it with a bamboo skewer. If the skewer comes out clean, it's done.
-
Flip the pan upside down on a cooking sheet or platter and remove the pan from the kasutera.
-
Remove the parchment paper and cool the kasutera.
-
Wrap it with plastic wrap and store until the next day. It tastes better the next day.
-
Cut the kasutera into 3/4 inch thick slices.
