Matcha azuki, chocolate and strawberry chocolate cake

4 egg whites
40g sugar

4 egg yolks
35g sugar
40g cake flour
1½ tbsp matcha powder/vanilla essence

Steps:
1.     Preheat the oven to 170°C.

2.     Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

3.     Using a hand whisk, whisk egg yolks and sugar well.

4.     Sift in cake flour into egg yolk mixture. Whisk (using hand whisk) until well-combined and aerated.

5.     Beat egg whites until foamy, gradually pour in the sugar, whip until to stiff peaks.

6.     Fold (first: using hand whisk, then: spatula) the egg whites mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined (don’t over fold, else batter will turn watery).

7.     Pour the batter into the lined baking pan. Gently tap the sides of the pan to level the batter.

For the chocolate topping:

Melt compound chocolate in microwave together with some whipped cream and mix well. Pour *warm chocolate down the sides of the cake.
