Ingredients
- 1heaping cup flour
- ½teaspoon instant yeast
- ½teaspoon salt
- 2heaping tablespoons matcha green tea powder (see note)
- ¼cup unsalted butter
- ⅔cup crème fraîche
- 3eggs
- 3egg yolks
- 1¼cups sugar
- ¼cup raspberries (can use frozen).
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, yeast, salt and matcha powder. In a small pot, melt the butter. Add the crème fraîche to the butter and whisk; remove from heat.
- Step 2
Using electric beaters or a food processor, whip the eggs, yolks and sugar until the mixture is white and thick. With a spatula, gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Then add the crème fraîche/butter mixture. (If the result is very thick, don’t hesitate to reheat it a tad.) Pour half of the mixture into a buttered cake pan. Distribute half of the raspberries into the batter. Pour the rest of the mixture into the pan, then the second half of the raspberries, using your finger to press them just below the surface.
- Step 3
Bake until lightly golden and a knife inserted comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Matcha powder available at Asian supermarkets, such as Sunrise Mart.

What size cake pan?
Wow, great cake. The raspberries balanced beautifully with the green tea flavor. Sprinkle some powder sugar over the top and you're done.
I would think an eight inch cake pan? The confusing part of the recipe is also when told to use electric beaters (whisk or paddle?) to mix the whole eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until white and thick. The yolks invariably turn the mixture into a pale yellow at best.
