Ingredients:

1-1/4 cups all-purpose, unbleached flour

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons Matcha tea powder

1/3 cup vegetable oil (safflower or sunflower, preferred)

1 large egg

3/4 cup granulated, unbleached sugar

3/4 cup milk (low fat or whole) – this can be substituted with almond or soy milk

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Using oil or butter, grease and flour a 9X9X4 loaf pan; set aside.

2. Measure all dry ingredients into a 2-cup bowl; set aside.

3. In a 4-cup mixing bowl, beat together the oil, egg, sugar and milk.

4. Stir the dry ingredients into the oil-egg-sugar-milk mixture; beat until smooth.

5. Pour cake batter into prepared loaf pan; set on a rack positioned in center of oven.

6. Bake Matcha Tea Cake for 35 minutes. After 35 minutes, insert a sharp, pointed knife in center. If knife comes out clean, cake is done. If there’s batter around knife, bake cake 5 more minutes.

7. After 5 more minutes of baking, test cake again. If needed, bake 5 more minutes.

8. When cake is done, set it on a counter to cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, loosen sides of cake from pan and invert cake onto a platter.

9. Serve cake warm or cold, garnished with raspberries and mint leaf sprigs. If desired, serve with 5-Minute Sweetened Whipped Cream, also on this website here http://thekitchenbuzzz.com/2010/07/5-minute-sweetened-whipped-cream.html/
