Mona-Wa Pound -Matcha green tea and white chocolate, modern Japanese style with autumnal colors
The deep green of matcha green tea and the pure white of white chocolate interweave to create a pound cake that is beautiful to the eye. It is a moist baked cake with a new sensation, combining the profound profundity of Japanese tea and the elegance of Western taste. The mild sweetness of the white chocolate melts out from behind the bittersweet matcha aroma, creating a peaceful and luxurious moment. Enjoy it with a cup of hot tea on a long autumn evening.
Ingredients (for 1 18cm pound mold)
| Material name | amount |
|---|---|
| unsalted butter | 100g |
| granulated sugar | 80g |
| Egg (M size) | two (objects) |
| weak flour | 100g |
| baking powder | 1/2 teaspoon |
| powdered green tea | 1.5 to 2 tablespoons |
| (cow’s) milk | 2 tablespoons |
| White chocolate (chocolate board or chips) | 50g |
way of making
- Now, let’s begin our journey of beautiful green and white harmony. First, let’s start with the preparation. Line a pound mold with a cookie sheet and preheat the oven to 170°C. Let all ingredients come to room temperature to prevent the dough from separating. Sift the flour and baking powder together two or three times.
- Place the unsalted butter softened at room temperature in a large bowl and knead with a rubber spatula until creamy. Add the granulated sugar and mix thoroughly with a whisk until the mixture is white and fluffy. The secret to the delicious flavor is to mix the butter until it becomes light and fluffy, and airy!
- Add the beaten eggs in 3 or 4 batches, carefully mixing with a whisk each time. This is the secret to the delicious taste! Emulsify the eggs in small quantities, making sure to emulsify them thoroughly, so that the dough is moist. If it seems to separate, add a small amount of sifted flour and mix to settle.
- Dissolve matcha powder in milk to make matcha liquid. Next, add the sifted flour and 1/3 of the baking powder to the bowl of butter and mix with a rubber spatula to cut. While the mixture is still slightly powdery, add the matcha liquid, then add half of the remaining flour mixture and mix to cut. The moment the bright green color of the matcha green tea spreads throughout the dough, it is like a painting. The aroma of the green tea wafts up, heightening the anticipation.
- Add all the remaining flours and mix gently, without over-kneading the dough, until the flouriness is gone. Finally, add the coarsely chopped white chocolate (or white chocolate chips) and mix evenly throughout. The white glitter will be scattered over the green canvas. This contrast is the key to the “Japanese modern” look.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pound cake mold and flatten the surface with a rubber spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 170℃ for about 40 to 50 minutes. The baked cakes will look like a little theater as they puff up in the oven. The sweet and savory aroma fills the kitchen. When you stick a bamboo skewer into the dough, if no raw dough sticks to the skewer, the dough is done.
- Immediately after baking, remove from the molds and remove from heat on a cake cooler. While still hot, wrap the cake snugly in plastic wrap and allow it to cool completely. Cooling the cake slowly and unhurriedly will deepen the flavors of the matcha and white chocolate.
- The climax of the excitement can actually come the next day. Let it sit overnight and enjoy the deep, matured flavor. The bitterness of the matcha and the mild sweetness of the white chocolate blend beautifully in the moist dough. Slice thinly and enjoy a blissful tea time with warm green tea or hojicha.
Recipe Points
Allowing all ingredients to come to room temperature will keep the dough from separating and make it smoother. Careful emulsification, especially of the butter and eggs, is the most important factor in creating a moist texture. After adding the flour, mix quickly as if cutting, as over-mixing will cause gluten to be released, resulting in a hard pound cake. Baking time should be adjusted according to your oven, and make sure it is well cooked by checking with a bamboo skewer.
