Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g taro, peeled and cubed
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • 2 black tea bags
  • 120 ml hot water
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 120 g granulated sugar, divided
  • 60 ml neutral oil
  • 100 g cake flour, sifted
  • 6 g baking powder (1 tsp)
  • 2 g salt (1/4 tsp)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 ml cold whipping cream
  • 20 g powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Brew the milk tea by steeping the tea bags in 120 ml of hot water for about 5 minutes. Allow it to cool after removing the bags.
  2. Steam cubed taro until fork-tender (about 15 minutes), then mash and blend with whole milk until smooth. Reserve 80 g of this mixture for frosting and chill the remaining.
  3. Preheat your oven to 170 °C (340 °F). Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  4. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with 60 g of granulated sugar until pale; add oil, cooled milk tea, vanilla extract, and 80 g of taro purée. Mix well and fold in sifted flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; gradually add remaining 60 g of sugar until medium-stiff peaks appear.
  6. Fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into yolk mixture gently until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
  8. Cool completely before frosting with whipped cream mixed with reserved taro purée.
