Green Tea Cake: Bavarese
Today I would like to give you all a nice Italian recipe: precisely the recipe of the Bavarese cake.
So let’s begin with the green tea cake.
Ingredients of the green tea cake:
- a cup of green tea, maybe you could use the matcha green tea;
– 220 g of milk;
– 175 g of sugar;
– 4 egg yolks’;
– 250 g of fresh cream (panna);
– 35 g of isinglass, or more it depends on the consistency you like for the cake.
The recipe:
First of all start with preparing tea and warm the milk; when they are ready, pour the warm milk in the tea.
In the meanwhile you could put the isinglass into warm water and let it soften and whip up the freash cream.
In a pot, using a wooden spoon, stir the 4 egg yolks’ with 125 g of sugar.
Always stirring, add little by little the tea whit milk to the egg yolks’ compound. After that, wrung the isinglass you have already softened in warm water and add it to the green tea cake.
Put the pot with the mixture over a very low heat and continue to stir, paying attention to never boil the cream because it could break.
When the cream begins to thicken and attach to the spoon remove it from fire, add cream (panna), which you have previously provided to mount, and 50 g of sugar.
Pour the cream into a mold, previously moistened, and refrigerate the green tea cake for several hours. Before serving, place the mould in hot water for a few minutes, so when turning it upside down above the dish, the cake would not break.
I hope you like this recipe and enjoy it as I do.
Below I write some information about the main ingredient of the green tea cake.
The leaves of the Camelia Sinensis, the plant of the green tea, contain caffeine (theine, 2-4%, approximately 20-30 mg for a cup) and catechins (up to 10%, sometimes referred to as tannins) and aromatic substances and are collected in the third year of life of the plant. The tea plant is cultivated in more than 30 countries around the world. It is now known that tea is the most widely used beverage in the world after water, with a per capita average consumption of about 120 ml/day. The different processing of leaf gives rise to different types of tea: green, black and oolong teas.
Most of the tea produced is of type “black” and is consumed in Europe, United States, India and Australia; Green tea is preferred in China, Japan, far East, Arabia and parts of North Africa. Green tea Virgin tea (Camelia thea) is a drink made from the young leaves and buds of the plant, without resorting to fermentation, while giving the tea color and particular aroma, it lacks important elements (especially antioxidants) and increases the content of tar (substance very exciting similar to caffeine).
As you can read this beverage is wonderful, full of benefical properties and so the green tea cake is a nice way to “drink” it in a different way!
