matcha chiffon cake

Bought matcha powder for quite some time and was waiting for an opportunity to make a cake with this jap flavor. Finally got this done!

Followed this link given by a friend. Made some minor changes.

I skipped the frosting part as I do not have any red bean paste and am a little lazy to make the extra step.

70g cake flour
10g matcha
(Combine and sift twice)

20g castor sugar (yolks)
90g castor sugar (whites)
10g corn starch (mix with 90g sugar)

70g milk
60g soya oil

6 small eggs, separated

Steps:
Preheat 130/140°c, 50min
Whisk yolks with 20g sugar
Add in milk, oil, whisk
Pour flour slowly and whisk

Whisk whites with sugar and corn starch till stiff peaks.
Add 1/3 meringue into wet batter and whisk till smooth.
Use spatula fold in the rest till smooth.
Pour batter in and tap few times on the table to remove air bubbles.
Pop in oven and wait.

Tasted nice. Usually I will lower the amount of sugar but I thought the plain matcha has a strong smell or retaining the amount balances out the flavours.
