Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup yuzu juice
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Yuzu zest

Instructions

  1. Step 1:

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Step 2:

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yuzu juice, melted butter, and egg yolks until well combined. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until smooth.

  3. Step 3:

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

  4. Step 4:

    Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

  5. Step 5:

    Pour the batter into a greased soufflé dish or cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  6. Step 6:

    While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Stir in the yuzu zest.

  7. Step 7:

    Once the cake has cooled slightly, serve it warm or at room temperature topped with the yuzu whipped cream.
