4. Separately, cream together the egg yolks with 30 grams of sugar until creamy and lighter in color.
5. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks. Then whisk in the remaining 30 grams of sugar tablespoon by tablespoon until stiff peaks form.
6. Carefully fold the egg whites into the egg yolks until combined. Then do the same by folding in the flour mixture to the eggs.
7. Pour the batter into the pan and bake 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, unmold, and cool on a baking rack.
8. Then make the mascarpone mousse. Start by rehydrating the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water.

10. Separately, whisk the cream into soft peaks.
11. Beat the mascarpone cheese to break it up and then add in the mixture from the double boiler. Once combined, carefully fold in the whipped cream.
12. Place the cake base in a high sided springform pan. Cover the top with a thick layer of mascarpone mousse and freeze while making the green tea mousse.

15. Separately, cream the egg yolk with 20 grams of sugar until creamy and lighter in color. Pour into the milk.

17. In another bowl, whisk the cream into soft peaks and set aside.
18. In a third bowl, whisk the egg white into soft peaks. Then whisk in the remaining 20 grams of sugar spoonful by spoonful until stiff peaks form.
19. When everything is cooled down, carefully fold the whipped cream into the milk mixture. Then do the same with the egg whites.
