For the Chiffon Cake:
- 4 egg yolks
- 30g sugar
- 40ml milk
- 40ml neutral oil (like canola or sunflower)
- 60g cake flour
- 1 tsp milk tea powder (optional)
Meringue:
- 4 egg whites
- 50g sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice or ½ tsp cream of tartar
For the Milk Tea Cream:
- 200ml heavy cream
- 1 tbsp milk tea powder or 2 black tea bags steeped in 2 tbsp hot milk
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the Brown Sugar Boba:
- 100g tapioca pearls (quick-cook or fresh)
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 tbsp water
- Make the Chiffon Cake – Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Whisk yolks with sugar, then add milk, oil, and flour. Mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with lemon juice. Gradually add sugar and beat to stiff peaks. Fold meringue gently into yolk mixture in 3 parts. Pour into an ungreased 6-inch round pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes. Let cool upside down.
- Make the Milk Tea Cream – If using tea bags, steep in hot milk for 10 minutes, cool completely. Whip cream with sugar and tea until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
- Cook the Boba – Boil tapioca pearls according to package. Drain. In a small pan, heat brown sugar and water. Add boba and simmer for 2–3 minutes until syrupy.
- Assemble – Spread milk tea cream generously over the cake. Spoon warm brown sugar boba on top, letting some syrup drip for that signature look. Serve immediately for the best texture!
