I thought we should continue the Matcha thread, so here is a recipe for a cake with Matcha and Sencha green tea. The author of Tea, Exotic Flavors and Aromas, Lydia Gautier, has used the “Maccha” spelling, so I will stick with this in this post. You could find the instructions for the recipe on page 32 (The Tea of Scholars: A Fresh, Plant Liquor). The recipe is invented by Tea Master Kazuyo Ishii-Coineau of the Chajin tea salon in Paris.

Maccha Cake (serves 6)

• 3/4 ounce / 20 grams of Maccha (Ryori)
• 5 ounces / 140 grams of superfine sugar
• 2 good teaspoons of Sencha tea
• 3 1/2 ounces / 100 grams of butter (at room temperature)
• 3 medium eggs
• 3 ounces / 80 grams of wheat flour
• 1 teaspon of baking power
• 1 pinch of salt

Do you have a recipe with Maccha?
