Green Tea and Raspberry Cake image

A men's tea party seemed like a fantasy. But as the snow melted, these boys were happy to gather at Nightwood's woodworking studio near the Brooklyn Navy Yard for strong, earthy teas and late-afternoon snacks.

Provided by Susanna Howe

Time 1h

Yield Serves 10-12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 heaping cup flour
1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 heaping tablespoons matcha green tea powder (see note)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup crème fraîche
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup raspberries (can use frozen).

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bake until lightly golden and a knife inserted comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.

I think this cake would be better served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.

This cake is a good choice for a simple dessert. It's not too fancy, but it's still delicious.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake is way too expensive for what you get. You can find a better cake at your local grocery store for a fraction of the price.

I think this cake would be better with a different glaze. The one in the recipe was too sweet for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and the glaze was too thick.

This was my first time making a green tea cake, and it turned out great! The flavor was subtle and elegant, and the cake was very moist. I will definitely be making this again.

This cake was a hit at my tea party! The delicate green tea flavor paired perfectly with the tart raspberries. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the glaze added a touch of sweetness that balanced out the tartness of the berries.
