- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g baking powder

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, and melted coconut oil, and whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Optionally, dust the top with a little extra matcha powder for decoration before serving.
