How to Make Green Tea Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 tablespoons matcha powder (or to taste).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
