Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13″ pan with parchment paper.
- Pour hot water over 3 jasmine tea bags and cover. Steep for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, combine cake flour and baking powder. Cut open the remaining 2 jasmine tea bags and add the tea leaves.
- Separate the egg whites into one bowl and yolks into another.
- Add cream of tartar to egg whites and beat until frothy.
- Gradually add 100g of sugar to egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- In the yolks bowl, add the remaining 50g of sugar, cooled jasmine tea, light oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Sift the dry flour mixture into the egg yolk blend and stir gently.
- Fold in about ⅓ of the meringue to the yolk mixture until no streaks are visible.
- Transfer the batter to the lined pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for about 25-27 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.
- Let the cake cool on a wire rack, then cut into 3 layers using a 6″ ring.
- Beat whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until firm peaks form.
- Position the 6″ cake ring on a cake board and fit with an acetate sheet. Place the first cake layer inside.
- Arrange quartered grapes against the acetate around the edges and sprinkle halved grapes in the center.
- Spread a layer of whipped cream over the grapes, then add the second cake layer and repeat.
- Top with the last cake layer and add a generous layer of whipped cream.
- Decorate the top with remaining whipped cream and halved grapes. Chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
