This one-pot donabe madeleine is always so tasty and it’s hard to stop eating it. I make it with Bistro Donabe, as its extra thick body and the flat bottom allow the heat to distribute gently and also make a nice presentation when it’s sliced. The authentic matcha flavor is complemented with the mineral-rich moshio sea salt. When I serve this with freshly-whisked matcha, I’m in heaven.
Equipment: Bistro Donabe or medium-size classic-style donabe (1.2-qt/ 1,200 ml or larger)
Servings
6 - 8Ingredients
- 4 oz (110 g) unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 oz (70 g) wheat flour
- 1 oz (30 g) almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 1/2 oz (90 g) powder sugar
Procedure
- Pre-heat the oven at 360F (180C).
- Melt the butter in a butter warmer or a small pan over medium-low heat. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, sea salt, and matcha. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs until smooth in a medium bowl. Sift the sugar and add to the eggs. Continue to whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture and whisk until smooth. Gradually pour the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
- Line the inside of the donabe with a piece of parchment paper (cut the paper so it fits the donabe properly). Pour the batter, and bake in the oven (with no lid) for 35 – 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool down and serve with matcha cream, if you like.
*To make matcha cream, sift 2 tablespoons matcha into a medium bowl. Pour 3 tablespoons hot water and whisk until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons raw brown sugar. Set aside. Meanwhile, whip 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream until medium to stiff peaks. Add a small amount of whipped cream to the matcha mixture at a time and stir with a rubber spatula until they are blended well.

The thick body of Bistro Donabe heats the cake gently so the texture is nicely moist while the surface has the good crust.
