Earlier on I had tried to make green tea bread by just adding some green tea powder to my usual bread recipe. The results were not very satisfying. The bread had a green tea taste (and a nice green colour), but somehow it didn't taste that special. After trying it out twice, I had a third of my green tea powder left, and decided to try something different.
An online search found me this green tea cake recipe. It is a rather small cake, in a loaf pan, so I made cupcakes with it instead.
The texture of the cake is really nice, soft and moist. The green tea taste was just nice too. However I didn't feel any "wow" factor :P Maybe I'm just not such a big fan of green tea... Next time I might try making this cake again with cocoa powder, since I'm not sure I want to buy green tea powder again.
Note to future self: For every portion of green tea powder, use an extra 50% of cocoa powder, as recommended by Tribute Tea. (although their recommendation is in the opposite direction, to pay tribute to tea!)
