Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is or with a dusting of extra matcha powder or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
