Ingredients
– 13 grams cake flour
– 2 eggs
– 20 grams sweetened condensed milk
– 50 grams fine granulated sugar
– 3 grams MATCHAZUKI medium-grade matcha powder
– 120 grams plain yogurt
– 10 grams cornstarch
Instructions
1. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and plain yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Set aside.
2. Separate the Eggs:
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Add the egg yolks one at a time into the yogurt mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
3. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
Sift together the cake flour, cornstarch, and matcha powder. Gradually add this dry mixture into the yogurt mixture, stirring gently until fully incorporated. Set aside.
4. Whisk the Egg Whites:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar together until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yogurt mixture, being sure to combine without deflating the mixture.
5. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Bake at 170°C (340°F) for 45 minutes. To maintain moisture, place a small cup of water in the oven during baking. This will help create a soft, moist texture typical of Japanese-style cakes.
6. Serve:
Once baked, allow the cake to cool before removing it from the pan. This cake is delicious on its own but can be served with a scoop of cold ice cream or fresh fruit for an added touch of flavor.
Matcha Yogurt Cake is a wonderfully easy dessert that captures the essence of Japanese baking – light, fluffy, and moist with just the right touch of sweetness. Its delicate texture and the subtle bitterness of matcha make it an irresistible treat, especially when paired with refreshing ice cream or seasonal fruit.
