green tea cake
Earthy Japanese sweet
Green tea cake is a cake flavored with matcha, the finely ground powder of specially grown green tea leaves.
The matcha gives the cake a distinctive earthy, slightly bitter flavor and a vivid green color.
Common in Japanese-inspired desserts, it appears as layered cakes, cheesecakes, and roll cakes: The bakery's green tea cake was almost too pretty to eat.
