Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the cake can be served plain, dusted with additional matcha powder, or garnished with fresh fruits. Enjoy!
