-Not sure why I can not have nice green colour, because I'm not using the special green tea powder for baking purposes or have to drop some green colouring ?Please let me know if you know the reason, much appreciate.

ReplyDeleteur green tea cake looks delicious . i also wondering why the green tea chiffon i made b4 ( green tea powder bought from Isetan~~imported from Japan abt 40g = RM20+-)not turn out as green as i expected. maybe the one we saw they might used the green tea paste.
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! Looks good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious cake! I like the texture of your sponge layer :) I use matcha powder (not meant for baking too), the colour is lighter...I usually use about 2 teaspoons, or maybe after mixing with other ingredients in your sponge cake (eg golden syrup), the colour became darker??
ReplyDeleteHey Sonia, This green tea cake looks very spongy and delicious. I had baked Green tea cake and Green Tea cheesecake before, would you like to take a look?
ReplyDeleteI like this recipe too! It's very spongy indeed! You're very creative to change the flavour to matcha. I shall try it too! Thanks for sharing your creativity! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWow! This cake looks so so so delicious! I like that shot of the cake cross section...makes me drool!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos Sonia! Love it!
I'm drooling liao....
ReplyDeletei made this once and love it. but the cream was an awful result... >< will try again next time
ReplyDeleteWow, looks yummy, i love it.
ReplyDeletegreen tea and matcha means the same thing but different name?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you overdose the cake with too much green tea powder? Nonetheless, it looks good. So so spongy!
ReplyDeleteWah, put so much cream!!! I like it :-)
ReplyDeleteLove greentea and redbean. they're the best blends!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Green tea cakes are very popular nowadays.
ReplyDeleteyour cake looks spongy Sonia, i am it taste good..^_^
ReplyDeleteThe red bean inti looks different from other cakes .
ReplyDeleteThis cake has no butter or margarine ,so it is suitable for those who is on diet and can enjoy the delicious of a special the matcha red bean cake !
Dear all, Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteSulianmummy, Thanks for explanation, maybe next time we try green tea paste
Happyhomebaker, Thanks for your explanation, maybe I add too much of green tea powder(1TBSP)!
Anncoo, sure, I will have a look later.Thanks.
Colin, this time no over expose ho..
Quinn, maybe you are right, Thanks for your advise, I will try to reduce next time and also cut down the baking time.
Bakeling, if for diet purposes,then do not decorate with whipped cream
ReplyDeleteNever thought of something like this...really love the green tea sprinkle on the top ..lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteMatcha Matcha, sounds like Hindustan language, I thought is Hindi Style Cake. Looks delicious, anymore left for me? he he he!
ReplyDeletemmmm...looks awfully divine!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that it's due to heat that causes some chemical reaction, thus the cake won't be green but will turn brown instead. Your cake looks soft and fluffy!
ReplyDeletethis look so pretty! :) awesome matcha!
ReplyDeleteSoft and spongy cake...
ReplyDeleteHi, is 20ml milk for this recipe correct? cos i notice you use 2/3 of the original choc sponge cake ingredients but the amt of milk here is not 2/3. Look forward to your advice cos i will be making it soon. Thks :)
ReplyDeleteMay
Gulmohar,Pete,Angie,Blessed homemaker, BBO, Tina, Thanks for stopping by and leave with you lovely words.
ReplyDeleteMay, yes, it is correct, because I need this amount of milk to mix well with green tea powder.Dont worry, it works, Happy Baking!!
Really appreciate your quick response. Is there a special reason why cold eggs are used? i am confused cos in other sponge cake recipes, we r told to use room temp eggs. i dont hv a machine so will be using hand whisk to whisk the eggs. Are there other pitfalls for me to note so that this 1st sponge cake will turn out good? Thks alot. May
ReplyDeletegorgeous gorgeous Sonia!!! love the decoration! beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe cake looks so yummy, lots of red beans..
ReplyDeleteIt'll look even better if u put cream under next sponge layer before u lay it on red beans.
Ur red beans.... still thinking of them... so much.. yummy...
May,what I learnt from a recipe book, if you have small cake mixer, it is better to use cold eggs from the fridge for easy rising. Since you use hand whisk, then you should use cold eggs.But I bet you will need to take very long hour to beat egg using hand whisk. Why not buy a small mixer, very cheap, less than RM100.
ReplyDeleteZurin, Thanks for your lovely words.
Wendy, do try out.
How do you make the red bean paste?
ReplyDeleteWhat syrup should be used?? Corn syrup?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Ms baby cakes, normal sugar syrup
ReplyDeleteI prefer to use the same recipe to bake other flavour of sponge cake. This time, i tried with green tea.matcha powder where to buy melbourne
ReplyDeletewhat can be used as a substitute for golden syrup?
ReplyDeletethanks
