Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

250 g unsalted butter
220 g caster sugar
4 large eggs (about 200 g)
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 stalks lemongrass, bashed
250 g cake flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring milk, heavy cream and lemongrass to a simmer. Remove from heat and let steep, covered for about 30 minutes Strain cream mixture through a sieve into a bowl.
  • Generously butter a bundt pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess flour.
  • Sift together cake flour and baking powder. Repeat sifting into another bowl. Flour will have been sifted 3 times total.
  • Beat together butter and sugar at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy.
  • Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Reduce speed to low and add half of the flour, then all of the cream, then remaining flour, mixing well after each addition.
  • Scrape down side of bowl, then beat at medium-high speed for about 2 minutes Batter will become creamier and satiny.
  • Pour batter into buttered and dusted pan and hit pan against work surface once or twice lightly to eliminate any air bubbles.
  • Bake at a 160°C pre-heated oven until golden brown and a wooden pick or a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake (about 20-25 mins).
