Green Tea Red Bean Cake

This cake marks the history in my baking life! why ? ( I tell u later *)

I was quite obssessed with red beans , red bean bun, red bean soup, red bean pastry, ( I have a new - red bean tart, make soon) , and of cuz green tea with red bean cake.
I had an intention to pass this tin of red bean to my baker and make me a cake! just in case If anytime my sponge cake fails, I will not waste this red bean already, well anyway, I still need to try.

Again, I do not have any " cake decorating stand / revolving stand" in my house, do not bother to buy one either, too expensive as I only used it 1-2 times in a year. But today I need to use one! to help me out in creaming the cake. I think this is the only 'way' i can replace my cake revolving stand. Seng Seng's bicycle wheel! *


Hey, it works really! It turn around like the normal stand! I found it quite amused when I cream my cake on top of the wheel. and Now, even u have a real 'revolving stand', to help to spread the cream smoothly on a cake, need a lot of practice, and also again! I dont have the palette knife, aiks, whatever, i m not doing this for all times, just again 1-2 times in a year! I also realise, if you cannot make nice cream on the edge,or turn out unpresentable, argh, just finish off with lots of spinkles to cover up! ha haha



yum yum yum !



The green tea sponge cake turn out soft & fluffy. I m quite satisfy , as I did not scrimp on the red bean! lols!!!!
