Cooking Instructions
step 1
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C (340 degrees F).
step 2
Separate the Eggland's Best Classic Eggs (2) yolks and whites, then set aside.
step 3
Melt Butter (4 Tbsp) and leaves of Jasmine Green Tea (2 bags) in a pot until it starts to boil. Shut off the heat and leave it to cool.
step 4
For the egg yolk batter, in a bowl whisk the Egg Yolks and Caster Sugar (2 Tbsp) until pale and fluffy. Drizzle in Milk (4 Tbsp), mix well. Add the melted butter and tea leaves mixture.
step 5
Sift in All-Purpose Flour (1/3 cup), Corn Starch (2 tsp) Baking Powder (1/2 tsp), Salt (1/8 tsp) and Matcha Powder (1 tsp) until just combined. Set aside.
step 6
In your mixer bowl, whisk the Egg Whites and Distilled White Vinegar (1/4 tsp) on high speed until frothy. Then, gradually add in Caster Sugar (3 Tbsp) while whisking on high speed until stiff peaks.
step 7
Fold egg white batter into egg yolk batter a third at a time. Transfer into a 6-inch ungreased chiffon cake pan.
step 8
Bake at 170 degrees C (340 degrees F) for 35 minutes.

Let it cool upside down completely.
step 10
Using a thin knife, carefully slide around the pan to remove the cake.
