This bundt is green for the holidays! If you've never baked a cake with matcha, you must do it immediately! The earthly, slightly bitter taste of matcha is balanced with the addition of sugar and vanilla. This cake is one of my personal favourites!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups salted butter, softened
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup canned evaporated milk
  • 3 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar for garnish, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Prepare a bundt pan by lightly spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and lightly flouring the entire baking surface of the pan. Gently tap out the excess flour. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add each egg, one at a time, and incorporate them well into the butter and sugar mixture. Add the vanilla and mix well. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of matcha powder. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture.
  • Add 1/2 cup canned evaporated milk and incorporate well.
  • Add 1 1/2 cups more flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon matcha powder. Again, beat well.
  • Lastly, add the last 1/4 cup canned evaporated milk and beat well.
  • Pour the cake batter into prepared bundt pan. Tap the pan firmly onto a cutting board to level out the batter.
  • Bake for 60 minutes. Check at the 50 minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. After the 50 minute mark, check the cake for doneness every 10 minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to continue the cooling process.
  • Dust with confectioner's sugar, slice, and serve!
