Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175 ℃). Grease a 9×9 inch pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar for 2 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing on medium speed until the mixture is pale and smooth, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. Scrape the bowl sides as necessary.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 38-42 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Then, remove it using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on the rack.
Notes
For a sweeter cake, adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk used.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
