Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Matcha Green Tea Kasutera.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 320°F (160°C) and give a small loaf pan a light greasing to ensure your delicious creation slides out easily later.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the sugar and egg whites until they reach stiff peaks—this is where the magic begins! Once you’ve achieved that fluffy texture, gently fold in the egg yolks, making sure everything is well blended and happy together.
Step 3
Next, add in the grapeseed oil, honey, and milk, stirring until the mixture is smooth and inviting.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift the all-purpose flour and green tea powder together twice—this step helps to aerate the flour and ensures a light, tender loaf.
Step 5
Gradually mix this dry blend into your wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix; you want it just combined for the best texture.
Step 6
Now, pour the luscious batter into your prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to smooth the top for an even bake.
Step 7
Place it in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that it’s ready to shine.
Step 8
Once baked, allow your loaf to cool before slicing into it, revealing the delightful green tea flavor within.
Step 9
Enjoy every bite of this unique treat!.
