I found a tin of “Japanese Green Tea Powder” in the cupboard. Well…basically, I forgot it was there! So, here it is! I decided to bake a cake.
For the cake …
160g Butter softened
140g Caster sugar
2 Large eggs
200g Plain flour
2tsp Baking powder
2tbsp “Maccha” Japanese Green Tea powder
2tbsp Milk

1tbsp “Maccha” Japanese Green Tea powder
2tbsp Sugar
4tbsp Hot water
For the Green Tea icing …
2tbsp “Maccha” Japanese Green Tea powder
2tbsp Icing sugar
Mix the butter and sugar with a spatula.
Whisk the eggs into the mixture with an electric hand whisk. Also add milk to the mixture.
Sift in the flour, baking powder and Green Tea powder.
Pour the mixture into a loaf tin.
Bake at 180 for 30-40 minutes.
Leave the cake outside of the oven for 10 minutes
Brush the Green Tea syrup into the cake while it is still warm.
