Description

In this recipe, green tea powder, also known as matcha, is added to cake batter, creating a soft, spongy green tea cake that is naturally bright green.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs

• 3/4 cup white sugar

• 1 tablespoon honey, or to taste

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 tablespoon green tea powder (matcha)

• 1/4 cup cold water

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 Beat eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until doubled or tripled in volume, about 7 minutes. Add sugar, honey, flour, baking powder, green tea powder, and water to eggs, in that exact order, beating 15 to 30 seconds after each addition. Pour batter into a 9-inch round cake pan.

3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
