Инструкции
1-Cut the taro into practical-sized pieces and boil.
Drain them thoroughly and mash into a smooth paste.
2-Beat into solid meringue the egg white, 2/3 of the sugar and the salt.
3-Add the rest (1/3) of the sugar to the mashed taro/sato imo, egg yolk and flour. Mix well. If the mixture proves a bit hard to mix, add water little by little until staifaction.
4-Add the meringue to the taro/satoimo and mix well.
5-Add the finely chopped lime zest and mix.
Pour one half into a pound cake mold lined with kitchen paper.
Add macha tea powder to the rest, mix and pour on top of the bottom layer.

Check if cooked properly by stabbing the cake with a thin wooden skewer. It should come out clean. Switch off fire and let cool down completely
