Cómo preparar Japanese Green Tea Kasutera Cake

Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Gently warm 1/4 cup of milk; whisk in 1/4 cup honey until combined. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups cake flour and 2 tablespoons matcha powder (finely milled Japanese green tea) until evenly distributed. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large, clean, dry bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, whisking continuously until the mixture is pale yellow and thick (about 5-7 minutes).
Place the egg mixture over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Continue whisking until the mixture is light and ribbons form when you lift the whisk (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Gently fold in the honey-milk mixture using a spatula, followed by the sifted flour mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 280°F (140°C) and bake for an additional 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack. Remove the parchment paper.
Allow the Kasutera to cool completely on the wire rack.
Once cooled, slice and serve. This cake tastes even better the next day!
