Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
