Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Matcha powder
  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate melted and kept lukewarm

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F). Grease and line one regular loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cake flour, baking powder, and Matcha powder. Sift the mixture and set aside.
  3. Cream the butter with half of the sugar until the mixture is light and pale in color. Add the remaining sugar and mix well. Gradually add the beaten eggs, beating until fluffy.
  4. Fold the sifted flour in batches until all ingredients are incorporated. Stir in the warm melted white chocolate and fold gently to combine.
  5. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven, dust it with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm.
