Matcha Sponge Cake

I like Green Tea but when it comes to Matcha, I like it as a drink better than the rest. However, Matcha Cake is really nice but I have not tried to make it. Recently, Bel asked me if I could bake a cake for her friend whose absolute favourite cake is Matcha Cake! Ok, that is a good challenge albeit very short notice. I think I will give it a try.

I love to take reference from other people and here is one reliable one that I keep going back to:-

I will use my own Basic Sponge Cake recipe (the age-old recipe) and then add 10 gm of Matcha Tea green powder for the flavourr. Bake 170 C for 50 minutes.
