Cake Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp matcha powder Be sure to sift for even distribution.
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round 9-inch cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder until combined.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs with the vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
  • Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until no lumps remain. Avoid overmixing for that fluffy texture!
  • Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost with your choice of whipped cream or matcha frosting, and enjoy!
