GREEN TEA CAKE



Green Tea Cake image

Soft and spongy green tea cake - full of flavor, and not too sweet. This recipe has been widely enjoyed by family and friends, and I reap the side benefit of having the whole kitchen filled with the blissful aroma of green tea every time I make this. This can also be made into 12 cupcakes.

GREEN TEA LAYER CAKE



Green Tea Layer Cake image

Adapted from a recipe by Tiramisuki at allrecipes.com. Can also be baked as a 13x9 sheet cake, 2 8" rounds, or 24 cupcakes; adjust baking time appropriately. (For cupcakes, you may want to increase the frosting by 50%.) If you do not have easy access to matcha, you can empty green tea tea bags into your spice grinder, and process them to powder. Green tea chai adds a subtle hint of spice and makes a nice substitution.

MATCHA GREEN TEA FROSTING/ICING



Matcha Green Tea Frosting/Icing image

I love a good buttercream frosting made with real ingredients. I love matcha/green tea. How could I NOT combine the two?! The kind of matcha I buy comes in 5g packets, so I would use 5 packets to get 25g of powder. This is standard batch that makes enough to frost about 24-30 normal sized cupcakes; 10-15 Texas Muffin sized ones.

Time 6h10m

Yield 24-30 , 24-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup butter
3 -4 cups confectioners' sugar
25 g matcha green tea powder
milk, as needed (or soymilk, almond milk, etc 2-4 tbsp)

Steps:

  • Leave the butter out to soften for at least 4-6 hours. It must be very soft and squishy in order for this to work.
  • Put the butter in the bottom of a bowl, with about 2 cups of confetctioners sugar. Mix with an electric beater.
  • Add the matcha powder, and beat again.
  • Add more confectioners sugar and a little milk (dairy or otherwise) to loosen up the frosting a little bit and make it spreadable.
  • Note that refridgerating it will cause it to set!
