Cooking Instructions
- 1
Slice about 10 g of ginger for topping, and then chop up the rest roughly. Do not add syrup.
- 2
Put the butter in a small container and melt it. If you can, keep it at about 40~50℃. Please refer to Step 17.
- 3
If you are using heavy cream, do the same thing and keep it warm with by placing the container in hot water.
- 4
Line the pan with paper. Make sure the paper sticks out of the pan by about 1 cm. Preheat the oven to 180℃
- 5
In a large bowl, add the egg and granulated sugar, warm it over a water bath at about 60~70℃, and dissolve the sugar while mixing with a hand mixer.
- 6
Once the sugar has dissolved (and the egg is at about 40℃), remove the mixture from the water bath and whisk it at high speed for about 5~6 minutes until it leaves an indent if you stick your finger into it.
- 7
Once it has thickened, turn to low speed for about a minute until the batter is smooth.
- 8
At this point, add all the butter or heavy cream and mix it well with the hand mixer.
- 9
Using a spatula, mix the batter well by scraping the bowl it from the bottom.
- 10
Sift the cake flour and add it to the batter. Mix it by folding from the bottom about 20 times until you cannot see any powder.
- 11
Add the chopped ginger and mix it quickly by hand for about 10 strokes until there are no clumps and the batter is smooth.
- 12
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan against the counter in order to remove any large air bubbles. Decorate the top with ginger and sesame.
- 13
Bake for about 35 minutes at 180℃. Poke it with a bamboo skewer. If nothing sticks to it, you are done.
- 14
Remove it from the pan and rest it on a rack till it is completely cool. Once cooled, wrap it in cling or plastic film and store it in the fridge.
- 15
It is good to eat after one day! My recommendation is to eat it after two days. The flavor deepens over time.
- 16
It tastes good at room temperature too, but I like it chilled.
- 17
You can use the water bath from Step 5 to keep the butter warm!
- 18
As for the oven temperature and such, please adjust it based on your equipment.
- 19
If you use flour + rice flour, and add half of the sesame into the batter, you get a delicious, moist cake!
- 20
A friend flipped the cake upside down, and added a lemon glaze and gold dust! Luxurious.
- 21
If you use heavy cream instead of butter, you get a plump and most cake! The steps and measurements are the same! Take your pick.
- 22
By the way, the heavy cream I used is animal based with 1/3 the calories.

Even so, they sunk to the bottom.Mix liqueur into the syrup if you like.You can make this using equal amounts of oil, sugar, egg, and flour. This time, I used 170 g each. Recipe by Yukijirushi

My 21 month old son doesn't eat vegetables at all... so in order to make him eat at least some vegetables, I made this cake with a minimal amount of sugar and butter!It contains a lot of vegetables and the batter is pretty runny, but that's fine. It's hard to cut when just baked so slice it when it's cool. Recipe by Yukantaroki -
Herbal Tea Pound Cake Herbal Tea Pound Cake
I had some sweet flavoured tea, so I added to a pound cake batter. It took on a wonderful fragrance and tasted delicious, so I uploaded the recipe. This time, I used blueberry flavoured tea. Other flavours are nice and fragrant too - try apple, strawberry, peach, or orange.Make sure you bring the egg to room temperature before using. If it's cold, it won't mix well with the butter and will separate.If you leave the pound cake to rest a few days, it will be even tastier. It will be particularly moist if you wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it for 2 - 3 days.If you don't have flavoured tea, use a little more sugar. Recipe by Puru berry -
