Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and erythritol until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, matcha green tea powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the almond milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your low-carb green tea cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
