Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams matcha powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes using a hand mixer on medium speed.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Optionally, you can gently fold in a small amount of additional matcha powder for a light green hue.
Top the cooled cake with the whipped cream, slicing and serving as desired.
