Ingredients
- 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 10 grams Matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve as is or with a dusting of extra matcha powder or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
