- 2 Eggs
- 1 grams Baking powder
- 120 grams Cake flour
- 10 grams Jasmine leaves
- 70 grams Dried Apples
- 1 (Or dried mango)
- 3 tbsp Strongly brewed jasmine tea
- Cut the fruits into thin slices and then let them soak in the strongly brewed jasmine tea.
- Let the butter return to room temperature until soft.
- Then add the butter into a bowl with the sugar.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the beaten eggs to the mixture a little at a time.
- Make sure to whip well after each addition.
- Whip the batter gently until all of the egg has been added and soft peaks form.
- The egg is best added when at room temperature.
- If it starts to separate, add in some of the combined powder ingredients.
- This is what the mixture should look like when the eggs have been fully mixed in.
- It should be smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in the tea leaves.
- Sift together all of the powder ingredients and add them to the mixture all at once.
- Mix with a rubber spatula until the batter is even.
- Once it's mixed, line a pound cake tin with parchment paper pour in the batter.
- Make a small well in the center of the dough.
- If you are using a tin from a 100 yen store, you will have a little batter left over.
- Bake the cake at 170-180C for 40-45 minutes.
- It's done!
