Method
Forget everything you ever knew about tea loaf, with its raisins and tea-soaked goodness, this is the ultimate ‘tea loaf’. Made using matcha, a fine green powder from green tea leaves, it’s packed full of antioxidants and goodness.
Easy to make and so light and fluffy. Just remember, a little matcha goes a long way!
1. Heat the oven to 180°C (fan oven).
2. Line a baking tin with grease-proof paper.
3. Cream together the butter and sugar until creamy.
4. Add one egg at a time and mix until evenly mixed with the butter and sugar.
5. Sift in the flour and the matcha powder and combine until you have a smooth mixture.
6. Pour the mixture into your baking tin and bake for around 45 minutes.
7. Leave to cool before serving or icing.
Finish with a dusting of icing sugar, or why not try the matcha-infused buttercream icing for a really indulgent treat?
1. Simply mix the butter with sieved icing sugar and matcha powder.
2. Add the vanilla extract and a tablespoon of milk to bind it together.
3. Ice once the cake is cooled.
