What you need:
- For the cake:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 package Lurpak Unsalted butter
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 5 eggs, separated
- ¼ cup crystallized ginger, roughly chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Baking pan:
- 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan, buttered and floured
What to do:
- Make the cake: Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine flour, matcha green tea and baking powder in a bowl and set aside. Add yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape sides of bowl as necessary.
- On slow speed, add flour mixture in two stages, mixing well after each addition. Stir in crystallized ginger.
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with salt until white, opaque and holding a soft peak. Fold whites into cake batter. Transfer batter to prepared baking pan and bake until cake pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 65 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before unmolding and transferring to rack and cool completely.
