• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 eggs
• 2/3 cup sour cream
• zest of one lemon and juice of half a lemon
• 1 Tablespoon matcha powder
• 1 stick plus 7 Tablespoons (15 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly





kekurangan adunan matcha :(


1. Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the loaf pan, dust the insides with flour and tap out the excess. Also butter a mini muffin pan or line a regular muffin tin with cupcakes papers for the small amount of excess batter. Set aside.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Whisk the eggs into the sugar. You can use a large bowl with a whisk for this. You don’t really need a big mixer for this recipe. Beat until the eggs and sugar are thoroughly incorporated. Whisk in the extract, then whisk in the sour cream. Continuing with the whisk, or switching to a large rubber spatula, gently stir in the dry ingredients in 3 or 4 additions; the batter will be smooth and thick. Finish by folding in the melted butter in 2 or 3 additions.
4. Divide the batter in half (just eyeball it) into two separate bowls. In one bowl add the zest and lemon juice. In the other bowl, fold in the matcha tea powder.
5. Pour some of the lemon batter into the pan. Top it with a portion of the green tea batter. Add more lemon and top with more green tea batter. Fill the loaf pan, leaving at least 1-inch of room at the top of the pan for the cake to rise. Swirl gently and minimally with a butter knife to get a good swirl effect. With the remaining batter, make mini muffins or cupcakes.
6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. The mini muffins will take about 15 minutes and the cupcakes will take about 18-20 minutes.
7. Once removed from the oven, allow the loaf to rest in the pan for 20 minutes before running a knife along the edges of the pan and inverting the cake onto a cooling rack.

nota:
saya separuhkan adunan dan bakar dalam loyang loaf pan kecil (8x4inci)

verdict:
bagi saya.. lemon dan green tea kurang serasi..
gandingan coklat (atau mocha) & green tea lebih sensasi
atau.. adakah akibat kekurangan adunan greentea?
atau greentea itu sendiri tak cukup shedap??
(alasan nak beli matcha powder yg power :p)
