Recipe // Marble Matcha Cake

What you need

• 4 eggs

• 160 g sugar

• 250 g self-rising flour

• 160 g butter (room-temperature)

• 2 big scoops of Matcha Latte powder (aprox. 40gr)

How you make it

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease and flour a tube pan.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together your room-temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and continue beating until everything is well combined.

3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set the whites aside for now, and sift the self-rising flour into a separate bowl.

4. Add the sifted flour to the creamy butter mixture and fold it in gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

5. Divide the batter equally between two bowls. In one of the bowls, whisk in your matcha powder to your desired taste.

6. Grab your whisk and whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

7. Fold the whipped egg whites into each batter (plain and matcha) separately. Do this gently, a spoonful at a time, until everything is just combined.

8. Here comes the fun part! Spoon dollops of both plain and matcha batter alternately into your greased tube pan. Use a chopstick or knife to gently swirl the batters together, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

9. Pop your cake into the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Enjoy! Once the cake is baked, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing in. And voila! A stunning matcha marble cake that's perfect for any occasion.
