*This recipe is for a 1-layer 15 cm (6 inch) cake*

Ingredients:

• 170g soft unsalted butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons whipped cream
• 2 Matcha Spoons (more can be added if desired!)
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

For decoration:
Option 1 = 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder + 1/8 cup powdered sugar
Option 2 = Honey Whipped Cream (3/4 cup whipped cream + 2 tablespoons honey)

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Place the butter in a food mixer, add sugar and salt. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes. 🧈
3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs. Beat again on high speed for 5 minutes.
4. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then add the whipped cream and vanilla extract. Mix until partially incorporated.
5. Add the matcha, flour and baking powder. Mix well until the mixture is well mixed.
6. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 15cm (6in) cake tin.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes (or longer depending on the oven). The top should be springy and risen, and a skewer should come out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a rack and let it cool completely.
9. Decorate with either the matcha-powdered sugar mix, fruit or honey-whipped cream.
