- In a clean stand mixer bowl, add in the egg whites and cream of tartar and whip until foamy.

- Pour the cake batter onto the prepared baking pan and level with an offset spatula.
- Sprinkle green onion, sesame seeds, pork floss, and seaweed onto the surface of the cake batter.
- Tap the tray a few times to release any trapped air bubbles.
- Bake the cake at 400°F/204°F for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and springy to the touch.
