Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
250 g softened unsalted butter
250g white sugar
4 eggs
240g sifted self-raising flour
180ml cold green tea
1 1/2 to 2 tbsps good quality matcha tea powder
Directions
cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy add eggs until well-incorporated. alternate folding in the flour and adding the cold tea into the mixture. stir until smooth, adding enough powdered matcha to reach a jade-coloured batter, or whatever shade you prefer. be careful adding more than a few tablespoonfuls as it can get quite bitter the darker you go. fill paper-lined muffin tins and bake in a 350F preheated oven for 20 minutes. cool completely before frosting.
