Matcha (Green Tea) Pound Cake image

I've been carrying this recipe around for so long that I have no idea where I found it. Note: Matcha is specially processed powdered green tea. You cannot substitute regular green tea that has been ground or crushed.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder (best quality, see note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
