🍰 Ingredients:
For the Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp matcha powder (high-quality)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp matcha powder
1-2 tbsp milk (as needed)
For Garnish (Optional):
Extra matcha powder for dusting
Edible flowers or fresh berries
🧑🍳 Instructions:
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and matcha powder, mixing until fluffy and well combined. Add milk if needed to achieve the desired frosting consistency.
Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake.
Garnish and Serve:
Dust the top with extra matcha powder for a beautiful finishing touch. Garnish with edible flowers or fresh berries if desired. Slice and enjoy!
