Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g taro, peeled and cubed
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • 2 black tea bags (or 4 g loose-leaf Assam)
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 120 g granulated sugar
  • 60 ml neutral oil
  • 100 g cake flour, sifted
  • 6 g baking powder (1 tsp)
  • 150 ml cold whipping cream (35% fat)
  • 20 g powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Brew the black tea by steeping the tea bags in hot water for 5 minutes. Discard the bags and let it cool.
  2. Steam the taro until tender (about 15 minutes), then mash and blend with milk. Reserve some for frosting.
  3. Preheat oven to 170 °C (340 °F) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  4. Whisk egg yolks and half the sugar until pale; mix in oil, cooled milk tea, and taro purée.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with remaining sugar until medium-stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in thirds.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely before removing from pan.
  9. Whip cream with powdered sugar to soft peaks; fold in remaining taro purée for frosting.
  10. Frost cooled cake generously and chill before serving.
