Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup erythritol sweetener
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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 for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and erythritol until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, matcha green tea powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the almond milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, slice and enjoy your low-carb green tea cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
