Overmixing can lead to cakes that are tough, gummy, or unpleasantly chewy. Don’t over mix the cake batter after flour is added.Beat egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale yellow and thick and forms a ribbon.Unlike a water bath, the water in a double boiler doesn’t touch the top bowl. A double boiler consists of a pot and a heatproof metal or glass bowl that fit together snugly-the top bowl holds the ingredient(s) the bottom holds simmering water. We use a double boiler to melt the chocolate and butter.Beat the egg whites and fold into the batter.Add milk and sift the flour into the mixture.Whisk egg yolks and sugar, and add in the matcha mixture.Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler.Please note that the thickness of the cake will be varied. You will need to double the recipe for an 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan, and triple the recipe for a 10-inch or 11-inch cake pan. If you want to use a different size pan, please adjust the ingredient amount and baking time. I use the same 6×3 inch round cake pan that I use for Basque Cheesecakes ( Regular and Matcha). Milk – I made this cake with whole and 2% milk and both work great!.

Cake flour – You can make cake flour with all-purpose flour and cornstarch (see the recipe).White chocolate – please use “baking” white chocolate.
