Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a bit of oil, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha green tea powder until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, mix the powdered sugar with water in a small bowl to create a glaze.
Drizzle the glaze over the cake and allow it to set for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
