Green Tea Egg White Cake

(Munavalgekook)
Serves 8-10

Have leftover egg whites from making green tea ice cream?  Looking for a unique cake to make?  This cake has its roots in Estonia.  Modified here, it is excellent with a cup of our Premium Oolong tea.

6 large egg whites
1c plus 2T sugar
1 1/3 c all-purpose flour
1 heaped Tbsp potato starch
3 tsp ground green tea
1 tsp baking powder
5Tbsp melted butter, slightly cooled


Whisk egg whites and 2 Tbsp sugar until thick, pale, and very foamy.  Mix sugar, flour, potato starch, tea, and baking powder in another bowl, then sift into egg mixture and fold in, gently.  Finally, fold in the melted butter.  Pour the batter into a buttered bundt pan and bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes.  Test for doneness with a toothpick.  Cool slightly before turning out of the pan.  Glaze or enjoy as is.
