Matcha cake from the rice cooker

A new recipe in our very populair 'rice cooker cake'-recipe series: Japanese matcha cake. Matcha, fine powder green tea, doesn't only make for delicious tea but can also be used to make all kinds of sweets (matcha-taste chocolate is also one of our favourites) and desserts. And this time, we we share a recipe to make your own matcha cake!

Delicious pieces of matcha cake
 Ingredients (makes a cake with approximately 19cm diameter, and 3 cm height):

  • 125 gr flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 50 ml (coleseed) oil
  • 100 ml milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1,5 tbsp of matcha powder 
The rest of the baking process is pretty much the same as all our cake recipes: mix all the ingredients together until the batter is smooth.
A tip for adding the matcha: add it little by little as the last step, so you can taste and adjust the amount of matcha powder if you think the taste is too strong (or too weak).

Put the batter in the rice cooker, put it on cake-setting and let is bake for 30 minutes. After the rice cooker has finished, wait until the pan and the cake has cooled down. Then you can turn over the pan and with a little shake the cake will come out perfectly.
