Makes 1 loaf

300g cake flour

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

125ml strong chrysanthemum tea (from approx. 20g chrysanthemum. Note 1)

250g unsalted butter

4 eggs

 

Method:

1. Preheat oven at 180 degC. Prepare and grease a loaf pan.

2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Set aside.

4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, scraping down the bowl once or twice.

6. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a small offset spatula.
