Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoons matcha powder (culinary grade or higher for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk (at room temperature)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
    Whisk to combine evenly, ensuring no lumps remain from the matcha powder.
  3. Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars
    In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
    Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
  4. Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla
    Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully mixed before adding the next.
    Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Alternate Wet and Dry Ingredients
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
    Mix on low speed or fold gently with a spatula to avoid overmixing.
  6. Step 6: Bake
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    If the top starts browning too quickly, tent the loaf with foil during the last 10–15 minutes of baking.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Serve
    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
