For a more intense green tea flavor, you can increase the amount of matcha powder in both the cake and frosting.
Ensure that your butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature for a smooth and lump-free frosting.
If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour. For every cup of cake flour, remove 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and replace it with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch.
This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a sheet cake version, bake in a 9x13 inch pan, adjusting the baking time as needed.

    The recipe was easy to follow, and the cake turned out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

  • Lilian Harvey

    I tried making this cake with brown butter, and it turned out amazing! It gives the cake a nutty flavor, and complements the flavor of green tea very well.

  • Randy Christiansen

    I loved how moist and light this cake was. It's not overly sweet, which I appreciate. The matcha powder gives it a beautiful color too!

  • Valentin Goldner

    This cake was a hit! The green tea flavor was subtle but delicious, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
