Introduction
This Matcha Lemon Drizzle Cake is a vibrant twist on a traditional drizzle cake, combining the earthy, slightly bitter flavor of matcha with the zesty freshness of lemon. The result is a deliciously moist cake with a perfect balance of flavors, making it an ideal treat for afternoon tea or a special occasion. The matcha adds a beautiful green hue and a unique depth, while the lemon drizzle on top gives it that extra punch of citrusy sweetness. A must-try for matcha lovers and those seeking something a bit different in their baking.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for the drizzle)
- Pinch of salt
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf tin or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is combined into a smooth batter.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the drizzle: While the cake is baking, mix together the lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl to create the drizzle.
- Drizzle the cake: Once the cake is out of the oven and slightly cooled (about 10 minutes), poke a few holes in the top with a skewer and pour the lemon drizzle over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- Cool and serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.
