Matcha, matcha, matcha ...

I have decided this one be the last matcha recipe for a while probably. Reason being that I have noticed I've made so (too?) many recipes that include matcha green tea powder. At the same time, the matcha recipes do not seem to be in the most popular section. I don't have much clue why this is the case. It might be that keto people are more of coffee lovers than green tea drinkers. It might also be that the recipes themselves just don't seem too intriguing.

I do not mind, though. I love green tea, especially matcha. It is full of antioxidants. A bit on the expensive side but very delicious and beneficial for health. Combined with any kind of dairy (especially milk, but I do avoid it), its flavors get to some higher indescribable dimensions.

A quick and simple keto-friendly cake

Exactly. When it comes to baking cakes, the recipes don't always need to be complex with complicating, hours lasting procedures. A layer of sponge cake with creamy frosting is sometimes enough to satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooths. What's more, you don't even need a cake slicer. In this regard, you can take this recipe without even making it a matcha one, and just enhance the frosting with vanilla or some other favorite flavor of yours.

  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. I suggest you don't save it for dinner as matcha might keep you up for a while!

      Hi, Grace!
      In case you’ve missed it, the instructions for the sponge cake say to soak it either with Bacardi rum or coconut water.
      Hope this helps!

    I made this recipe and didn't have all the ingredients listed so made a few substitutions. Whole greek yogurt and sour cream for the mascarpone and accidentally used moringa instead of matcha. Oh My! This is a winner! I'm sure even better with the stated ingredients! But even with my substitutions it was so good. It is our (hubby loved it) new favorite good for you dessert! Thank you for your recipes! Can't wait to try more!

      Wow, I've never used moringa! Your substitutions sound great (I sometimes find mascarpone too heavy, to be honest), and I'm happy that you love the cake. Thanks for commenting, Kathy!
