tempura poppy cake green tea ice cream – this was a treat! Even though we were so full, I still convinced everyone to have this dessert. I love tempura ice cream, but when you use a poppy cake batter on the outside, it makes it all the more special. Does poppy seed cake really go with the flavor profile of green tea? Well, there could be better matched cakes, but I’m not going to be picky about this because no one else does it and it’s worth a try! I will warn you about the pink whip cream in the middle – I think it’s whip cream and I also think ours had gone bad and tasted like oil, though the table next to ours was happily eating it with their ice cream…
