Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
Step 5
Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once cooled, the cake can be served plain, dusted with additional matcha powder, or garnished with fresh fruits. Enjoy!
