Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 60 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and matcha green tea powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract, being careful not to overmix the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the pound cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Green Tea Pound Cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
