Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prepare it for the batter.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and matcha green tea powder. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until all ingredients are combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 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 transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Once cooled, the cake can be served as is, or topped with a simple glaze or dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
